What is a sleeping key battery?

A sleeping key battery is a special type of battery designed for car keys with keyless entry systems. It has a built-in motion sensor that detects when the key is not being moved. After a few minutes of inactivity, the battery puts the key into 'sleep mode', which stops it from sending signals to the car. This prevents thieves from intercepting the signal to steal the car.
