Key Fob Battery

Just curious, how long are these batteries supposed to last (key fob), I've had the car 8 months and have had to replace the battery 2 times already.

Bring your car to the dealer, there is a bulleting for replacing the lower key housing, should take care of the problem and it should take about ten minutes, remember bring all your keys at once.
