Default Volvo S40 T5 electrical issues

So, an error message came on my info thingy saying that I need electrical service. Now when I turn my steering wheel, the dome lights dim, sometimes the intrument panel lights go out, the anti-skid becomes disabled. I hope it is something simple like the altenator, but it starts up right away, so I cannot imagine the battery being able to have the much juice to start the car...any ideas?
