Default My car "acted" strange tonight

Tonight, while driving the battery light came on(it was dimly lit). Then the radio cut off.The next thing I know my ABS light came on and then my low gear (yellow) arrow came on and the car started to drive rough as if it wanted to stop.I pulled over to the shoulder and I cut the car off.It refused to start for live 5 mins and then everything worked well coming home

Almost the exact same thing happened to my friend's S70 GLT. We were driving in a bad part of time at night. Wasn't the best place for a breakdown. [&:] He took made it home but had to tow it to the dealer, and they concluded it was a bad battery. They replaced it with a new one and from what I can deduce he hasn't had anymore problems with it.
