It is powered by a coin cell battery that lasts upwards of a year.

Users who own a Moto X (2nd gen), Droid Turbo or a phone running Android 5.0, Lollipop, can use the trusted device settings on their device to enable the ability to keep their phone unlocked when the keys are nearby. They don't need to enter their password to use their phones (if set) when the device is in the vicinity.
