I can only ASSUME you are asking the question because either;
a) yours is starting to fail and you're curious if this is normal
or
b) you're starting the season wondering if your battery can support you another year
If (a), you got 5 years on your original battery, not bad. If you abused it by deep discharges, not keeping it fully charged between uses and never did a single condition charge you did GREAT!
If (b), buy a hydrometer and measure the specific gravity of each cell. If a little low or uneven buy a charger capable of performing an equalize charge. HERE is some good info on how to maintain your battery.
