SRAM derailleur batteries don't need to be replaced every year and neither do Shimano batteries. I have four SRAM batteries that were manufactured four years ago and they still work fine. I'd expect more like 5-7 years of life. I've got batteries for power tools that are 12 years old and still working.

The coin batteries in the shifters only take a minute or two to change and every year is wise.
