Same here with my "Classic" M6 - I hardly ever need to change the battery. 
But wasn't there an issue with the
very early M6 models to do with excessive consumption - I think that at some 
point, the circuitry was updated,
around the same time that the metering sensitivity was increased - or is my 
memory defective? The move from
Wetzlar to Solms is roughly when I think it was.

Lew,

Don't know for sure, but the battery in my M6TTL lasts about 1 year, with an 
average of 2 -3 rolls per week.
Even when I have several trips and shoot 14 or more rolls it will take a 
year to run it down.
