Is this the reason my car has trouble starting after it's been sitting for a couple of hours?

That battery looks too new to have that much corrosion on the terminals. Clean them and tighten em properly, might just be a loose connection.

Buy a new battery and connectors.

If it works good after that then yes, if not then no.

Also I really hope that's some shitbox you bought for $1,000 how can someone take such poor care of their rig.

It's a 2012 corolla got it from my sister. Girls and cars don't really mix. Thanks for the insight.

Kek the acid has rusted over some parts of the radiator clamp. Also that's an old battery if not the original one. Not a newish battery as the earlier anon said

It's fucked senpai. It's leaking and there's nothing you can do except replace it . Preferably with an optima from amazon

Battery is fucked, but autozone will test for free. Grab a toothbrush and use diet coke to clean up those terminals before putting new bat in. No reason to get new terminals. Also optima a shit for about 15 years now and your car isn't worth that much dosh for a bat anyway.

Those things will break as he's attempting to remove them.

That's a factory battery op it's been 4 years. Replace the battery and terminals. They are both fucked

Intredasting. Also baking soda and water. Won't be as sticky.
