Pull the alternator and take it to an electrical shop that tests, repairs, and rebuilds alternators, generators, electrical motors, etc. They can test it and then repair/rebuild if needed. Run, don't walk. Also, get that bad ruined battery out of your equipment before something more major happens.

Bird the battery is an Exide 60 premium with two plastic caps on top covering the six openings. I am going to replace the battery, but how would you unclog clogged vents? I am assuming you simply pop the caps off and clean them?

If you're going to replace the battery anyway, and I certainly agree that you should, then I wouldn't mess with the old one; however, you're right; pop the caps off and clean them. You should see the vent hole in the 3 parts of each cap that fits into the battery.

very good advice, unless you are electrically inclined?? Parts are high for alternators. The self regulators are very tricky inside. I repaired the older GM 10 models..You definitely need an electrical diagram of the unit...to trouble shoot it..

There is probably a skilled small business owner in your area that will test and rebuild it. I recently lucked out when I called a couple parts shops looking for a new starter. One guy turned me on to a local service shop that rebuilt mine as good as new..... for half the price of one from a parts store.
Good. Luck
