Check and see if you are getting correct charging voltage at the alternator and the battery...yes it could be alternator and/or alternator wires connections....I assumed the word "croted" in your post means corroded. so with previously corroded wires i would check all electrical connections on the battery and charging system connections. also look for corroded wires where the connectors connect to the wires...
