Did you put a meter across the battery at the same time to see if the reading was accurate? Since you're getting other weird failures maybe it's not your alternator but something else. Just trying to narrow it down.

Im going to take it in this next week and have my indy take a look at it. When he put my battery in he checked the voltage and it was fine. But the car was warm when he checked though. I might leave it overnight so he can see what i see most mornings....
