Life expectancy of the battery in the meter?

Smart gas meters do have batteries, but smart electricity meters work on
mains power.

Makes sense. I wonder who is paying for the extra electric to run
millions of smartmeters, them or us?

Smart meters would not exist if the power companies did not make more
money from their use.

But that can be because they dont need an army of meter readers.
