My voltage regulator went out... It spiked the voltage up to 19v when I revved my engine. This destroyed my battery. After the battery went, the car ran on the alternator alone. The alternator soon went out afterwards and I ended up replacing the battery and alternator. I had the same symptoms you have when my alternator went out.
