My experience with batteries the last 20 or so years is that if they are low on water they are already pretty well done.
My 03 Dodge's factory batteries lasted 11 years and nearly 200K miles and were not actually bad when I replaced them they were just beginning to fall off a bit.
My 012 VW TDI otoh has 'bout 5 years and 90K miles on it and I just found out today the battery is shot.
