... Which might be ok if you only use it in the bedroom but not great if it lets you down on stage with no warning. A battery status light wolud seem to be appropriate

get a couple of rechargeable 9v batteries and just put freshly charged one in before the gig.

Batteries are cheap enough - as a rule I replace mine twice a year and don't worry about it.

One thing to keep in mind is the battery is only being used when a guitar cable is plugged into the guitar. For all kinds of reasons (battery life included), its a great idea to unplug the guitar when you are not playing it

I use a CHEAP battery tester and check periodically.

Six months between replacing good batteries should be plenty of time.
