It sounds like the battery has had it. It might just have been the battery but if you have the equipment to test alternator/regulator and check for ripple that would be good.
Often it is the battery that acts as the regulator and stops the voltage going too high. They also smooth out any ripple so a weak or failing battery can then result in a lot of other problems.
Good luck

Generator fixed, cmp sensor was damaged so new sensor, timing checked and resistance changed… everything looks perfect now. Good power, very smooth, really nice fuel economy. Battery is done, have been like 6.000 km getting too much voltage.
