Help! Battery Charging light and CEL

Recently, my CEL has come on. It happens when my wife drives the car (mostly city) and it has gone off a few times after I have driven it on the highway for a while. I really hadn't done much to figure out the problem, I was going to do some detective work this winter.
Today, I went out to the car (it's getting chilly here in Chicago) and pulled out of the driveway. Got to the street and the power steering shut off, the lights dimmed and the Warning, Battery Charging light came on the main instrument panel. The CEL warning is still on the SID.
What should I do (short of towing it to my mechanic)? Is it advisable to put a new battery in? Charge it using a battery charger?
Any help would be appreciated.
FYI I've had this car since about April. I've took it to a good independent mechanic when I bought it and he looked it over (fixed the transmission mount and steering fluid pump).
