Key Battery always low

Key Battery always low
Hello All,
I have just purchased my first Acura. A beautiful 1 owner 2005 Acura RL. And I love the voice activated everything once I figured out I have to press the talk button before I say anything. My only issue with the car is that my key is always low. Being a used car, I only got one key and am kind of concerned I will be stranded one day. I replaced both batteries in the key fob and it is low again after about a week. Is there some way I'm supposed to charge the key or distance I should keep it away from the car when not in use?

I haven't seen the other fob when I look around the car. After I changed the batteries in the fob it didn't do the low battery for one trip. I will check out the battery voltage. Is there anyway to operate the car without the fob in case of emergency?

There is a physical key in the corner of the fob where the ring hole is. Press the button to release it.
Try starting the car without fob 2 any where near it. That will rule out if fob one is in the car.

there is a "secret" compartment for the manual in the top of the glove box, but I would think previous owner would remember if he put it there
top open, see button near top of the glove box and compartment drops down

Checked that. Its so weird. It still says driver 2 even though I have the driver 2 key 15 ft away from the car. I can start the car but I can't lock the doors.

thus, the behavior is explainable and fob1 must be in the car somewhere

Thank you so much. I couldn't find it anywhere. Maybe the detailer will find it tomorrow. I really wanted a second key. That and its very weird to be driver 2 in my own car.

Getakey, yes you can leave a second fob in the car and lock it. You cannot close it in the trunk. I know because my wife would want to leave her purse in the trunk and I would have to move the key to the cabin.
OP, this is probably the 4th or 5th "I've lost my key and can't find it thread." Although yours unfolded much differently than previous threads.
