Key induction charging test

Quick one, both my keys have stopped working. However had them tested and they are producing a weak signal which could be because they are not charging. Is there a way to test the ignition barrel to see if it is getting power to induct charge the keys. Thanks.

A question, rather than an answer, for which I apologise?

Can one recharge the keys for a D3 or D4 on a QI wireless charging pad?

Not sure if D3 keys are the same as Freelander keys of same vintage?

I tried to charge my Freelander 2 key with various inductive charging lash ups and non of them seemed to work. Eventually found out it was because the Freelander hadn't been unlocked for 8 weeks plus so needed to be opened with key. Worked fine after that (i.e. wasn't a flat battery issue)

When I had trouble opening in normal conditions (e.g. normal commuting etc), it turned out to be the battery was shot. Soldered in a replacement battery and it fixed the issue.

The QI has to sense the presence of a compatible phone before it will activate the coil.You might be able to trick it with a phone on the base but do you know it is working?

One of my keys when I got the car had a well abused and not recently used spare. Bought a new case with key blank on line. All swopped over, only problem I had was the blade holder had a different diameter pivot so had to knock the roll pin out and swap over the blades as well.

Unfortunately the remote got not a twitch out of the car, no lock or unlock even standing right beside it.

Left it on its side on the wife's Oral-b charger for a day. Completely dumb, the charger works without a brush on the base.

Tried it with the car, worked a treat, didn't even have to re-pair the key.
