No, in a dying battery situation the sparks should still be good... the CDI can increase the dwell time to compensate.
It's more likely that the first thing you'd notice is the starter relay clacking on and off because the battery voltage sinks so low when it sees the starter motor that it can no longer hold the relay closed then, once the relay's open, the voltage rises back high enough to activate it.
