theyll probably be able to order you some in from Japan after theyve unearthed half mountainside east of Kinshasa and transported it half way round the world to make your batteries

Are you series?? Something tells me this is a design failure, how can all of those batteries be dead so that the car cannot be opened

If they have enough power to move a car, they should have enough power to open a door!

i believe you have to use the key blade in the fob which should still open the doors to axcess the starter battery which from memory is in the boot where you can jump start the car. Make sure you have the a/c swithed on so it will only run on the petrol engine which in turn should start charging the batterys.
