~Accessory~[]~Belt~

On my way into work, I have notice that the Accessory belt tends to slip at time and squeal.. Also the battery light flashed at least twice … the dash board lights seem dim…. And at time they seem brighter.. I think that I need to tighten the belt or have it replaced? or could it be the alternator ?
If I have the belt replaced I might as well do the timing belt too?

Battery died today, right in front of TD bank. Anyhow.. walked over to Crappy tire, with the battery … and they guy starting giving my as lesion in battery care
… turns out the the cells were bone dry, so the guy at crappy tire filled them up .. charged the battery… and sent my on my way.. The only reason I think he did it cause it was a motomaster eliminator, hehe I was just gonna buy a new one..
... Oh yeah some fool at td bank wired me $1600.00 by mistake...
I figure there´ gonna catch on soon enough..
