I usually change the battery in 'both parts' at 6 months, which for me is about 700 miles when I change to winter/summer bike. I also carry spare batteries with me.
Button batteries can be checked/tested for remaining charge. The button battery testers are not as common as the type of tester that I use for AA/AAA/PP3 etc. They are available though. E bay do them
for about a tenner but I just buy a card of batteries about once per year. It can be frustrating if they pack up during a ride
The current card of Panasonic brand CR2032 button batts I have surprisingly (to me) have a 'use by' date to Jan 2031! I'll never get to find out if that is true as I will have used them by then. There was 6 batts on the card and I think they were £2.
