Default V50 Diesel - Power system service urgent

I've got a 2006 V50 Diesel, with 116k.

Just had a warning light on the dash "power system service urgent" along with the battery picture.

It came on about a mile into my journey, stayed on, then when I left for home it came on after about a mile (driving with fans and radio off) , but went off about 2 miles later, and stayed off for the remaining 2 miles til I got home.

Just checked the voltages and get:

engine off 12.33 v
engine running, nothing on 12.44v
engine running air con on max 11.79v

Whilst doing these tests I dont think the light came on the dash.

The belt on the alt looks fine, well, it is there and going around.

Does this sound like an alternator? Any common other problems? Advice, things to check etc?

Many thanks in advance!
