Should I consider replacing the starter battery now, rather than wait until it starts giving me trouble?

If so, what should I replace it with?
Why guess? Just buy battery analyzer like ANCEL BST200. Now you know. Usually battery going bad will show signs like different sound in cranking or hesitation then crank slowly to lights dimming when engine at low rpm. Heat here in Florida kills most battery’s in 4 or 5 years what I experienced.
