Nah. Plenty of time to do that while you await the arrival of the tow truck.

It uses induction charging I believe.

Yes, as RoundaWhile has said, the D3 key recharges by induction.
therefore, it pays to rotate usage of your spare key to ensure it stays charged.
if one key does go completely flat, just tape it on the steering column shroud and it will charge up.

I use my spare key around the time the car goes for a service, so maybe a few days every six months or so. Thanks for the phone charger tip, I'll try the induction phone charger as I have one that has a light that changes from red to blue when charging my phone.
