I know that most newer cars FOB’s are always “communicating” with the cars “brain” and thus will drain the FOBs battery prematurely….. I just don’t know if my 1998 FOB with 2 buttons will also drain the FOBs if left close to or inside the car.

You’re good. The only time the fob activates is when you push one of the buttons.
