2014 cat d5 battery warning

Hello all, been awhile since I posted. My amber battery light and icon come on intermentenly , and then the alert turns red with audible alarm and icon on. 2x in a month when the red alert was on it shut down my hydraulic release button and could not use hydraulics. Turned it off and let it sit awhile, red alert still on but hydraulics work as they should. I replaced both batteries in April of this year, and after a couple months the alerts and icons started showing up. I changed the alternator with a new Cat alternator and tested and it puts out over 14 v. Do you think there is a sensor somewhere that is reading inaccurately? Thanks, Gary
