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?
My Yamaha cart’s battery lasted 7 years. Good idea to pull off the caps and check the fluid level once a year, as it will evaporate in the Florida heat. Replace with distilled water as necessary. A couple of stores quoted me prices over $150 for a replacement group 24 battery. Instead I bought a deep cycle marine battery at Sam’s Club for $85. It has three years on it, and works perfectly.
