I’ve had my 2014 R from new and never had this problem until last year. I only buy Duracell from trusted suppliers [Waitrose]. Last year after having service and MOT done when I picked up car they said they’d changed the key battery. I pointed out that I only put a new battery in 2 weeks earlier, but they said the change battery warning had come up. I was surprised but let it go, and the battery they put in lasted 10 months, so I thought maybe the one I’d put in was a rare faulty one. After putting a new battery in last week the warning came up today. I can’t believe it’s a faulty battery, so removed and wiped battery and carefully and gently lifted the 2 contacts which are under the battery to ensure a good contact. Refitted same battery and warning not coming up yet.
Car is keyless by the way.
