One of the issues with the cable corrosion is that the charging system does indeed work, but the condition of the cable make it a very inefficient conduit for the charge to occur.
In my case, short trips (like Saturday am errands) would end up in a no start situation after a few starts and shutdowns. The battery never recovered its charge in the short local drives. My 45 drive to work was long enough to give the battery a chance to get close to a full charge, and it would work normally.
After I replaced the cable, no more issues. Ultimately did replace the alternator when the bearing started screaming at me (still charged fine) and did a battery before the next winter (pre-emptive just over 3 year replacement)
