For charging, you likely have a battery isolator under the hood, near the firewall on the driver's side. Many (most?) of those associated connections are quite corroded. I dread the day we pull that apart and start replacing the components because the posts rusted off :E
The catalytic converters tend to clog up, too, if you have any running issues. If it feels underpowered, these are the main things to check.

Good luck and enjoy your new Rolling Paradise :C
