That was my worry when I got my first pair of EMG's. On the EMG website, somthing like if you play for 4 hours a day the battery will last a year. They don't just stop working like your afraid of, first you'll start hearing a loss in tone and gain/output so it happens gradually. I change my battery every year just to be safe but I could easily go more than a year and be fine if I wanted. Now I don't even think about the battery.

Just get in the habit if you don't already of unplugging from your guitar when your finished playing and you'll be fine. Plugging in is what "turns on" the pickups i.e. uses battery life.
