About 30 mins in I got the "Battery Saver Active" message, but none of my other electrical components seemed to stop working i.e. radio, lights, dash cam.
When I was arriving home, my headlights shut off, along with my radio and other electrical features, the Stability Trak message came up too.
Is this typical for battery failure or alternator failure, OR BOTH? Do you guys have a good method to diagnose either or?
Thanks guys!

Battery check for sure. OP could be alternator, but again, test battery, as well.
Tmjmp, sounds like your alternator is working correctly at 14.5. Original battery?
