Exclamation Mll350 battery light , esp/abs run flat

Hi there ,
My esp unavailable message first came on a few weeks ago then the abs unavailable followed a week or so after . They both came and went but mostly the esp was showing up . Then the actual orange lights began coming on for them when I first started the car and then would go off . But the run flat indicator and the esp unavailable seem to be there the most .

Yesterday , the car had an issue starting and I jumped it and it started . A red battery light came on and so I replaced the battery . It went away for the day and then today I started the car and turned on the air and the red battery light came on and when I pushed on the gas for a few minutes after starting to drive the abs and esp orange lights came on and went off .
When I check the voltage inside the car with it off it says 12.6 when I start the car , it goes all the way up to 13.9-14 so I’m assuming the alternator is charging it ?
if anyone has any ideas or thoughts please let me know . It’s greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Most of the time these ABS/ESP warnings mean you have one or more bad wheel speed sensors. Doesn't explain the battery warnings tho.
12.6V with car off is perfect, just as 13.x V when charging

I only have my 2010 ML350 w164 for a few weeks now so I am still learning I did not know there was such a thing as a backup battery in my car.
