Battery brake light is on

Brake light on all time and battery light flashes or stays on. Ive checked voltages. 12.5 on battery off. 14.4 while running. Anything else to check? Runs good have put couple hundred miles on but something gotta be wrong. Any help appreciated. Its 2005 maxima 3.5.

On my 4th gen the battery and brake light on means you have a bad alternator
I assume the same with your generation Maxima

It may be 14.4 while running, but what does it read when you put loads on it while it's idling? Turn on AC, defroster, radio, headlights....everything you can and then see what the voltage is and report back. You have the classic symptoms of a failing alternator.
