starting issues - battery?

[herr friedl]

hello!

my cube starts up and shows me the grey apple logo. no spinning wheel 
appears.

when i press "alt" for searching after a startup disk (i got only one - 
no partitions, no classic-system folder) it recognises my disk and 
after pressing the arrow-button the cube starts up completely normal.

could this be a weak or empty battery? how do i find out?

running OS X 10.3 on a 1Ghz PL upgraded cube.

thank you in advance.
