Even the readers with sealed batteries last a long time.
Most batteries in that range last around 300 charge cycles; even at a week per charge-cycle (the connected readers with connectivity enabled full-time), that's about six years life cycle. For non-connected readers (or connected but with connectivity used sparsely) 300 cycles should be about ten years.

Readers with user replaceable batteries can be expected to last as long as the eInk panel holds up.
