Does anyone know how long a replacement PRAM battery that is a decent brand (SAFT) will last in a Mac Classic II that is in storage?

The PRAM battery in a Mac Classic II I bought recently is shot (couldn'y get any reading other than flat 0 on my multimeter) and I want to replace it. However, I only plan on taking this Mac Classic II out to play once or twice a year, so I want to know how long a PRAM battery will last in a Classic Mac that will be in storage for extended periods of time. If it's only for a short time then I'll just live with the PRAM being blank, but if I can get at least a few years our of each battery then it might be worth it.

Any insight is appreciated.
