I stand behind what I said 100%.
I tested this out by removing the batteries from my remote (just to show here, I knew it would start the car) and left them out for about 1/2 hour then used that battery-less key to start the car. Of course it started without any problem as I expected it would. The batteries are there only to open/close the doors and to hit the panic alarm.
