In my experience they don't struggle, they just don't even try to turn over. Mine was fine up until the first morning it wasn't - no warning, car just wouldn't turn over at all. Can't complain at 8 years from the original Volvo battery.
I keep a booster pack in my car, they only cost £40-£50 and mine has got me out of bother a couple of times. Having another car doesn't help you much when it fails to start in a supermarket car park in the ****ing rain at night, or some other awkward situation.
With a booster left in the car you can squeeze every ounce of value out of the current battery though!
