Replacing Battery on 2009 H C
Hi all— About a week ago I left my lights on overnight and woke up to a dead battery— just a few days earlier I had done the exact same thing and used my neighbor’s cables and car to jump mine successfully.
This most recent time, I had to buy my own new jumper cables from Walmart and we tried to jump it with two different cars and nothing work. Initially it gave a fast ticking noise and the all the dashboard lights would come on but no engine start. We gave up and tried again the next day but then the only light that would come on in the dash was the seatbelt indicator.
My first question was- is there potential my cables weren’t as powerful as my neighbor’s I used the first time? Or is it because my battery terminals are corroded?
I want to know if there’s a chance it can be jump started again and what might have caused the battery to be unable to jumpstart.
Next questions are: if I do need to replace the battery, what is my cheapest and best option? Money is tight so any expense that can be safely spared is ideal. I’ve attached pictures of my battery and car as well
