Sounds like alternator to me,you should have 14.4v at the battery with the engine running.
can you borrow a battery of someone and test to see if it's different????
Sound like the alternator. It been a problem on some vectra. Thise dont like engine-wash was told me by an opel - mecanic.
same problem on mine, although had no battery light warning of a charging fault - just wouldn't start after stopping for fuel!
sourced a refurb'd alternator from ebay for £110 and fitted relatively easily following the how-2 on here, and the haynes manaul. Vauxhall quoted me £200+ just for the alternator and close to £350 Supply+Fit!!
(I have a 120bhp CDTI - 105A alternator)
I bought an alternator a few months ago when the water pump went so just need to get it changed.
Just got it back from a new manifold too.
