Before you do that I would try a couple of things. Get a different brand of battery from a store that has a high turnover, sometimes these batteries are years old, I have had a few that lasted no time at all. Ideally test the voltage so you know the battery is good. I find it difficult to believe both fobs have the same problem.

Also check to see if there is any corrosion in the keyfobs in case there is high resistance.
