Default warning lights and power steering issue

Driving home tonight in drizzling rain and the headlights start to dim, next minute the battery light, brake warning light and stability control lights all come on, the taco needle dropped to 0 and the power steering started to fade to the point it was not assisting at all. after a few seconds of this, the warning light go out, and normal driving resumes. Coming into the driveway it all happens again, but as I drop revs to turn into the garage, the car conks out and won't start, giving all signs of a dead flat battery. I can work out if there was a belt problem the battery light coming on, but the brake and DSC?
Any thoughts out there?

What vehicle type??

Possible charging problem - alternator or loose belt. Check with multi meter
Charge your battery and check as you may find faults are due to low voltage
