Just had alternator and battery replaced 3 months ago (factory alternator) 126,000 miles. Have noticed recently that dash and headlights will pulsate dim/bright. Got 10 miles from the house and battery light came on then numerous faults (air bag, theft system etc) then “battery saver” came on and heater, windows gas gauge etc stopped working. Car had no power accelerating from a stop. Pulled over and shut it off and it would only click trying to restart. Removed battery and took home to charge but it showed 12.85 volts so I went back and reinstalled it. Car started perfectly and ran for about 6 miles with no problem. Got a quarter mile from home and battery light came on again. Now here I am. I have no clue what is going on. Surpentine belt was put on a couple weeks ago but I would think if It was the belt or alternator the battery should have been dead. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
