did my key just die?

did my key just die?
Just went to lunch, and my key no longer locks and unlocks the car remotely. I'll try the second key when I get home.
Car is about 18 months old, has 19000 miles, and I've used this key since day one.
Maybe the battery just died? Either way, it should be covered under warranty, but I'm just checking here to be sure there isn't something I can do to verify it before I deal with a trip to the dealer.

Probably just needs to be reprogrammed, it's rather easy, a series of locking and unlocking doors and putting the key in the ignition. There's a how-to somewhere on here.
