Alternator #’s are 14.5 running, battery is 12.5 then dead. Oil light comes on when slow/idle, oil levels fine- won’t accelerate past 30-40
What makes this problem better or worse?
Sitting still AND moving because it’s an auto, gotta feather it into 2nd/3rd- runs ok when running, but oil light is mystery. Alternator seems fine but dead battery all the time

Hello, have you had the battery itself tested to ensure it's able to sustain a full charge and a load? I'd look at this first.
Charging system output voltage is fine, but what's the amperage?
Sounds like an engine performance issue. I'd also check base engine oil pressure as well.
