Wouldn't it die a slow death where you would notice more sluggish starting over time?
If I recall correctly, you will see a code 46 on the red light if the battery starts to fail, but I would not rely on this.

Also, you will notice the cart will be a little slow to start as the battery fails. Ours failed while my wife was golfing, I was able to carefully jump it and get it home.

The battery replacement can be a little tricky, as noted above the heat shield is in the way. Make sure you note the location of the positive and negative terminals, it avoids having to remove the new battery and turning it around.

If you cannot replace this yourself, there are several golf cart services that can do this, but I would try to get the old one out and replaced the get the core charge (around $40).
