When it's working right, your battery is likely the least of your worries but you just don't know especially during the winter. This winter alone I know a whole bunch of people who ran into battery problems and none had to do with age or dying battery.

Besides, you have to reverse anyway so why not just reverse into a parking spot with the added benefit that if your battery does go out, anyone can come and help.
