Key fobs not working

Hi - is there anyone who can recommend someone to provide a Smile Smile refurbished key fob for my Freelander 2?

They are very old and the batteries are dead and won’t recharge.

Thank you! Smile

Just in case it's this: if the car is left for a month, the electronics go into deep sleep and the key fobs won't work, the car then has to be opened manually using the key blade.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. The car is used every day but now both fobs are not working. I know we need to replace the batteries but they are integrated so we are looking for a cheaper solution than replacing them at a dealership.

Thanks though
