The keys for my Ford Escape look like this:

I had it at the local Ford dealer a few days ago for an oil change and when I got it back I went to start it and the display said "key battery low replace soon".
So I hustled down to the hardware store, bought two new batteries and replaced the battery in both of the keys.
Went to drive it today and, "key battery low replace soon".
Weird. I tried it with the other key, same warning.
So what could be going on here? It's a bit suspicious that this is affecting both keys and it started right after I got it back from servicing at the dealer -- maybe they knocked some connection loose?
It still works, it starts and runs fine. I've just got that warning....
I'll call them on Monday and ask about it but I figured maybe one of you fine folks might have an idea for what I should look at in the meantime.
