HELP! Warning Light: Battery/Generator

I was driving home and a warning light saying battery/generator came on. My A/C went out and the oil temp and engine temp started to rise so I pulled over and shut it down. I waited for temps to cool off and tried to restart but the car would not start. I had the car jumped and drive the remaining mile home. The same warning light came on and just as I was pulling up to the house the engine temp and oil temp started to rise, the power steering shut off, the abs and pcm shut off and then the car went dead.

Question: I am assuming I just need to replace the battery. Is that correct? Any idea what the generator is? Thanks!

Check your serpentine belt. All those are powered by that belt. Its an easy fix.
