Pulsating power

R50 2003 not really any electrical changes (51k miles)

The power at idle (slightly under 1k) pulsates (noticed by slight light flicker) I can get the same flicker by moving my steering wheel but this is when I am not doing that.

What could be causing this?

Power Steering fan is clean and spinning without issue.

Could it be Belt slipping (dont hear that but)
Could it be Battery failing?
