I have a lil corrosion on one of my battery post and when I tried to start my car today, it wouldn't do anything. A few of my lights and radio came on, but once I turned the key, it said nothing. Please let me know if its the battery? Thanks

You may well have a failed battery, remove and clean battery terminals and clean posts, soak terminals in warm water and bi-carb soda solution , then wash with clean water, get the battery load tested and if ok, check the alternator charge rate, start here.
