So I drove to my mom's house to bring her dinner (I'm such a good son ) and when I was in the drive-way I left the car idling while I ran in for a few minutes. I came out, didn't notice the warning lights, put it in reverse (6MT) and when I looked up....both the battery and brake light warning lights are on.

So I drove a few miles back to my place and it was fine. Let it sit a few minutes while turned off, then restarted it and it started up. I'm not going to drive it to work obviously.

For what it's worth I didn't have the AC on, the headlights/foglights, radio, etc.

Any thoughts?

You know, I don't have MUCH automotive knowledge, but I should have known at least that.

Thanks for the response.
