Was the battery covered under warranty? Most batteries have a 2 year warranty.

the keys i would say would have to be re assigned if you completely remove the power from them. easyest thing to do is get a battery holder and 2 wires and use it like a memory saver automotive people use to not stuff up stereo coding. in cars with that feature.

Our Lancer keys do not need that. They won't loose the memory from a flat battery.

That is good to know!
My Transit van recently had problem with key and had to be replaced. $200 odd dollars to replace.(lucky was under warranty) Then the new key went flat, but I left in the ignition for an hour and it recharged. The batteries in these are not replaceable, the whole module in key has to replaced.
Do our smart keys have a replaceable battery?

Yes the smart keys have a replaceable battery. It is the standard CR-2032 battery commonly found

Do the smart keys work with a flat or missing battery? I rarely use the buttons, but worry when i leave them in my pocket when I am driving that I could accidentally be pushing the button causing battery to go flat. I believe I read in the manual you can use the key if the battery is flat?

The smart key function won't work, nor the buttons. But there is a hidden emergency key that comes out of the unit. And that will get you manuall in the drivers door. Then you unclip the ignition knob and reveal a key slot. Put the emergency key into the end of the key fob and it forms a key that works in the ignition barrel.
