I put a piece of tape on the back and mark the date. On the system at this location last keypad battery replacement was 5/30/20, so we'll see in the coming months if ~10 months holds true again in my case.
The only other batteries I've actually had to replace so far have been in the freeze sensors. That was fairly recent, just shy of 3 years, and both within a week or two of each other.

I use a Sharpie to write both the date I bought the battery and the date it was put into service on the battery.
I also keep a spreadsheet ( LibreOffice) with sensors, install dates, battery change dates, and the like.
There were no system notifications from the keypad, but I arm/disarm with the keypad so I saw the "Replace Batteries" warning every time I used it.

Ditto.
And through my years of SS2 ownership, I averaged 317 days between battery changes on the Keypad. Oddly (due to illuminated buttons and waking upon touch), SS3 has shown a considerably better average of 418 days.
(And I have always used the Keypads daily, multiple times per day)
