Only for a guitar that uses active pickups instead of passive ones. Look up the specs on your guitar and it should tell you which ones it came with. If you can’t tell from the spec page alone, then look up the specific pickups once you know what they’re called. Most electrics have passive pickups, so it’s fairly uncommon that you’d have active ones without knowing.
Not only that but if you do have active electronics you also most likely have a 9v shaped door on the back of the instrument for access to change said battery.
If you don’t see a door, you probably don’t have active electronics.
Wait… Does this mean I might have to change a battery in my electric guitar someday? How would I know?
