In previous gens, sure. It's an easy thing to replace.

Make sure they (key fobs) are not close to cell phones. IE same pocket, storage tray etc. Even short times together will significantly reduce battery strength.

My brand new truck came with a dead battery in the key fob!

I've never heard of this before, why would that cause the battery to drain?

Parasitic draw from your phone. My parents had this problem. Asked the dealer about first this he said was keep the fob and phone separated. Problem went away.

Did you replace it or did you ask the dealer to replace?
