Are your lights dimming during a cold start? There should be plenty of signs of a dying battery before you need to change it.

lights as in the lighting on the speedometer or the headlights? both of them are fine.
No problems with cranking too. The car is a keyless go, would it be diff if I inserted the smart key and actually "turned" it to start up the car? For the push start, there seems to be no problems when starting up.
No other signs of the battery dying also. Its been over 3 years now and I thought batteries were supposed to last only around 3 years...
