It would be very difficult to run down the battery in an Uwatec (or
the OMS branded version).  The unit is designed to last 11 years with
100 dives/year.  Most people will lose the thing long before that, and
if you manage to actually put 1100 dives on it, it'll probably be so
scratched and beat up by then that you won't want to change the battery
anyway.
