Overvoltage?

Hi all! I need help here!

Recently my red battery light in instrument cluster lit up several times, each time it lit up, it only stayed for several minutes and went away. I used DIS to check the fault code today, it showed 7 times of 'overvoltage' (14.6V on alternator output, 13.8v battery) and 1 time no communication with DME.

Any idea on this? What is the problem? Is the alternator dying or the battery dying? Thanks for help!
