Ok if its all fixed now, please also consider adding a cheapo digital voltmeter - you can pick them up for buttons on Tbay - just choose the type which shows volts as a number - not a line of flashing lights. A voltmeter won't prevent a repeat, but it will at least give you a chance to spot if there are charging system issues developing and give you a chance to head for some place safe before whatever energy is left in the battery is drained and you end up stranded.
