That is usually a sign that your alternator is failing to recharge the battery. Take the car to a reputable mechanic and have the charging system tested. It could be something else causing the battery to drain but most of the time it is the alternator.

Key with battery on dashboard

It means the battery in your key fob is low in charge and needs replacement. Once you know the battery number, you very likely can get such at Walmart. There likely is a video showing you how to open the key fob. This is much less expensive than replacing a key.

My car won't start I turned the key and all I hear is a click and the dashboard shows a picture of a car with a padlock .how do I unlock it?

The battery and charging system is down. Have some one to check the voltage on the battery first without the cables off it. Then check it with the cables on it. If the voltage is below a 9 or 7 then change the battery. It may start up after you have change it if not, change both alternator and battery. you should be fine after that.During the summer keep you battery post and battery clean and free of dust and dirt.

2000 Saturn LS1 dashboard battery light

the light is across one diode in the rectifier pack in the alternator, usually there are 9 of them, one of yours has failed, probably the failed diode is leaking current and draining the battery. In this instance the battery will be good (if drained) and the other 8 diodes will show a good charge.Get the current drain checked with everything switched off
