Master Key Battery

How long has the battery in the key lasted for everybody?

I noticed the range getting shorter and shorter until finally it wouldn't always open the car by remote.

I replaced the battery in the key today and now it's back up to about a 30' radius. This morning I had to practically stand over the car, hitting the button about a dozen times.

What's everyone else's experience been ?
