The 9 foot specification is great, actionable information to have, assuming its correct/verified by Lexus and the tech was trained to parrot it. In my home, I was worried what the distance was (it now seems the distance from my garage to where I keep the key every night is greater than 9 feet) - so I had bought a Faraday cage-pouch to stash the key in, every night.
The 2nd key fob (now that I finally have it), I have turned off and stash in different room that is also more than 9 feet away from the garage.

The app that I have on my iPhone, from my Quicklynks battery monitors ($29), gives me a heads-up when they drop to a low level. While I would be the first to admit that this is a bit of a PITA but, it is better than the alternative.....that being a croaked battery. I've only had that occur one time, which prompted the battery monitors. So far, this is a good workaround until Lexus moves this &%#*@! issue to the top of their fix-it agenda. With battery failures occurring, I have to assume that they are looking into it. You are, aren't you Lexus?

The dealer tech wrote a book on why the key fob communication with the vehicle if it's 9 ft or less while measuring the amp draw. It's up to those to believe or test themself. Just sharing my experience from what was shared from the dealer experience.

I specifically did not get the battery replaced at the dealer at 5 K mile service, because I wanted to retain the Panasonic battery now, rather than have it replaced with a run-of-the-mill lead acid by the dealer. I have not been charging the 12 V proactively more frequently than 1 month+ intervals, and have not experienced a dead car other than on two days in winter.
