Default Should I clean car battery terminals? and if so how?

I'v eheard 13.8 volts. That sounds high.

Maybe the battery is good but the charging voltage is low.
Have you
measured it. Should be about 14.5 iirc. If too low, it
won't put
enough into the battery, even a good one.

Maybe the charging voltage is low because the fan belt is
loose that
powers the alternator. Or maybe their is tension thing for
a
serpentine belt and the spring is getting weak.

How do these ideas sound to you guys? Because I'm having
the same
problem described above, and I have to try to fix it soon.
