Safety Question What is happening

Post image

Think my battery died and when I popped the case open this is what I saw. Can I still jump it?

If you want to save time just get a new battery but if you want to save money go to a mechanic shop and ask if they can clean off the battery terminals and then charge the battery using a battery charger (NOT a jump box) but one you can plug into the wall and hopefully automatically shuts off once it reaches the required charge. And if they can’t do that or if they do and you still have the same issue then you would more then likely need a battery
