Problem is the alternator.
Voltage regulator is shot so it throws up various warning lights on the dash.

Do not drive the car until you have changed the alternator or you run the risk of not only frying the battery but other components too.

As above, dont drive the car! The high voltage will damage the electrics!

Surprised you haven't had loads of bulbs blowing too???
