other relevant info to this is that the fanbelt is slipping at medium and higher speeds, so i wonder if the alternator isnīt charging the battery properly. i have bought replacement fan belts, will install 1 within the next few days and see how we go.
The battery can't produce 14V. The charging system will raise the system to 14V when it sees a heavy load.........especially when the battery is not fully charged.
