One did on me a few weeks ago during a gig.
It was quick and easy to replace it but also a bit annoying.
It would probably be a good idea to replace the battery once a year.

really depends on the pickup
ES2s tend to consume more from a 9volt than your average Fishman (like an Infinity)
Using coated strings mostly so the changes are about once ever 4 months on the guitars I have those on I will change the battery (If I remember) every other change.
I have a tester, and they do seem to have a lot of life left, but to have one go dead right in the middle of a performance is a real buzz kill.
