Electrical isues on j10 nissan qashqai

I have a problem with my Nissan Qashqai, its a late 2010 so its a facelift model. The lights flicker when I am driving, when im parked, basically all the time, my windows roll down slowly, some electronics have started dying, like my alarm system, and the latest is my rear & side mirror heaters. Any idea why is this happening ? its a 1.5 dci, original battery, and the voltage fluctuates, the flickering gets worse if ac is on, heated seats, or phone charger. I can turn everything off but it still continues to flicker.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head with "original battery". A decent battery will last 3-5 years before it starts to fail/cause issues, so first port of call will be to a store to get a new like-for-like battery. Beyond that, your alternator might be failing but you should get a new battery anyway.
