So, after removing alternator I found that the alternator cable was corroded along with some copper wires brittle and broken at the tip, can i chop that corroded tip and add the terminal on to that?

definitely worked out, I sliced off the corroded tip of the copper cable, then crimped a copper terminal, used some heat shrink to clean things up and then used oem toyota electircal tape to clean it all up. Appreciate the help. no more battery light either.Far from an expert but to me this looks like some electrical arc damage and copper corrosion.
I'd say that if you have the length you should be able to re-crimp a new terminal. I would also avoid using dissimilar metals whenever possible to reduce the chances of galvanic corrosion acceleration. Think: solid core copper terminals.
Let us know how it goes!
