Default Quick Question (battery died) HELP!!!!

Good evening everyone....i detailed my car last nite and there was a rock chip on my front head light so i touched it up with the lights up. spent about 25-30 mins...car off lights on i know i shoudln't have done that my dad even came downstairs and told me i was going to kill the battery but i thought it would be alright...but sure enough I KILLED THE BATTERY coudln't get it started this morning either...so i put the charger on it for a couple of hours and it started up...the dic reads RANGE LOW (for fuel) and it seems to have lost 3 sensors in the wheels (one reads the correct readings and for the other three its just blank) I left the car start for about 30 mins had no problems starting up again....how will this stuff go back to normal...the sensors are mounted in my aftermarket wheels

If you have a Battery Tender you may want to hook it up while you are away to ge the battery back up to full charge. I think I would go through a couple of start cycles with a full battery to see if the Range warning clears.
