dead keys

Has anyone ever had both their keys die within a day of each other? It seems more than a little odd to me that this is what happened to me. None of the buttons on either key work anymore, as a of a few days ago. I use them interchangeably. Is this a function of the keys? Something else?

Careful where you set them down. They charge while in the ignition. They must be hitting other metal in your pocket.

The problem might not be the keys but the radio receiver on the car, or somehow the car lost the key codes.
