GS300 didn't start this morning, maybe bad battery?
Hi,
I went to start my GS300 this morning and the steering maybe moved an inch and then completely stopped. The engine didn't even tick when I turned the key. I looked into the engine and assumed the battery and I noticed the positive cable was on the terminal but loose. I sorta jiggled with it and then tried to start the car again and it started up fine. I'm assuming the issue is with the loose cable or could the battery be bad? Any ideas? I'm trying to prevent this when I'm not on my driveway lol. I've attached a photo of the battery below...
Thanks!

Your terminals look kinda corroded, you might want to clean those up and tighten them down. Even though the terminal is still attached, if it is loose it may not get a connection (happened a couple times on people's cars I know).
