You should be able to just replace the battery by cracking the key open and soldering a new battery on it. Its a VL2020 rechargeable battery available from ebay.

If you end up scuffing up the fob by disassembling it you can also buy a new plastic key casing to make it look new.

Replacing lost keys with brand new are a pain in ass, you need a programming setup to write to the key and the CAS module or get shafted from the dealer
