Key battery

My main key is getting worn to the point I’ve got to fiddle with it to get it to turn in the lock, I went to use the spare but key battery dead, I’m not driving far in the disco is there any way if charging the key battery. Other than driving I.e. can I have key in 1st position

If it doesn't hold charge the replacement rechargeable battery is a VL2330 Thumbs Up

Thanks for the replies I tried just putting it in the ignition but it didn’t do anything, I then went to work and it must have put some charge in as it worked after but not for ping it’s only a ten min drive to work I think I’ll order a replacement and see how we go

I had trouble with fob battery dying on my D3. After a drive it had enough power to remote lock but by the next morning I had to use the manual lock in LH door. Rebuilt the board with a new battery & replacement case , its been OK since
