For both keys?

Just the one I use. The second key has the old battery from the primary key(which worked on the primary key but not on the secondary).

Sounds like a faulty key.

Will try tomorrow!
In general it’s best to keep the key fob at least 50’ away from the car when not in use. Otherwise the key will try to connect with the car electronics causing a drain at the key fob and the car battery. The car battery lasted 7 years in my GTI that way. The wafer battery in the fob goes at least 2-3 years.
I have also had this warning message.
I was under the impression that the key battery was a re-chargeable battery which re-charges when I place the key whilst driving in the little compartment under the arm rest and next to the cup holder. So why does the battery need changing? Car is GolfM8 Reg June 2021 with 10k on the clock.

The battery is not rechargeable.

There a lot of fake batteries out there. I bought some ’Duracell’ batteries off eBay and they lasted a few days. Got some from Tesco and it was obvious that they were genuine. Lasted for ages. The packaging had dates and codes printed on them. The eBay ones didn’t.
