Strange problem when starting 2002 Civic EX AT

When I took my car in to have the strut replaced for an ungodly amount at the dealership, they informed me that the battery was low. Being cheap I decided to put it off. A few days ago I started the car and all the needles fluttered quickly for about 5 seconds and then I noticed that my trip meters were reset, but everything else was fine. It repeated itself yesterday and this morning as well. Is this just a sign that the battery needs to be replaced or something more serious, or is something just wonky with my gauges?

that happens when the battery is dying but there could be a problem with the charging system . bring it to a autopart store and they will usually test it for free.
