Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would have thought that the element in the key that enables engine start is not battery powered. Again I'm guessing that the car uses NFC to check for a passive component in the key. The battery in the key is just for the door/ boot(trunk) unlock function.

Can anyone confirm
