Recently, I noticed that negative battery cable had white color powder. I brushed it off with metal brush and cleaned negative battery terminal with battery cleaning tool. 1 day later, the white color powder appeared on the battery cable again. It looked like corrosion to me. This has never happened before in last 20 years. My battery was purchased from dealer back in 2008. There is no fluid around the negative battery terminal.

Is the battery leaking acid and cause corrosion on battery cable ? Is it time to get a new battery ?

Thanks.
