Having a weak battery in the key does not set off the alarm randomly. It's having a weak back-up battery in the siren module itself that sets it off whenever.
Also, FYI, if you're near a dealer and have the all-in-one key I would STRONGLY recommend taking it to them to have the battery replaced. For $4 they have the correct tool and can change it right there for you. While it's nice to be able to do it yourself the reason I recommend going to the dealer is because they broke my key changing the battery using their special tool. The whole casing cracked so the back door didn't go on anymore. The guy was pretty pissed and said it happens A LOT on this key and lots of dealerships have reported it to Saab but they have not changed the design. Anyway, I got a new $150 key for free. Break it yourself and you're out a $150 key.
