I do a few things:

1. I date when I install a new battery (anywhere on or inside the back of the bass).

2. I unplug my cord from the bass when not in use (battery drains more otherwise).

3. I have an ****og Multimeter I use to test a battery at any given point along the journey.

While I have NEVER experienced a battery going bad while playing, clearly, having an Active/Passive Switch is a nice option. Otherwise, see 1, 2, and 3 above.
