It sounds like alternator is knackered, Have you checked to see if your battery is charged up?

Or maybe your belt might need tightening or loosening as it could either be loose or too tight?

tomorrow feel the belt and see if it has any slack in it, if so then give it a tighten up and check the belt or start car up and see if it squeels?
