I just tried starting the car and the starter motor turned but did not start the engine. I then tried starting again and the same thing happened. The third time i tried, the starter didn't even turn. I checked the battery terminals for corrosion and there was a small amount of white corrosion. After cleaning it off i let it sit for ten minutes and tried starting it again. This time it struggled to start but finally did. Turned it off and and on again and started to work fine, this time only with minimal struggle. Do you guys think it may be a faulty battery?

Could just be porr/dirty contacts - clean them up properly, and then smear with petroleum jelly to stop further corrosion. But if it keeps doing it - change the battery.
