Ignition off, 12.5 volt at battery a quick check but you really have to give it a load test. With ignition on turn on your headlights, heater blower and a few other items and see if bat maintains 12.5 for a few minutes. If it drops to 11 or less you have a bat problem. Alt needs good battery to charge properly.
p.s. Belt slippage would normally give squeal, particularly when accelerating.
