Sounds like typical alternator problems - you get all sort of warning lights popping on etc. I don't suppose you measure the terminal voltage of the battery did you? It's possible that it got damaged with an over discharge. It's worth checking it and also with the car running to make sure your alternator is charging at a sensible voltage
