It could actually be the battery. If the battery is not 100% charged or has a bad cell, it will cause symptoms like this. The car will start fine, but the electrical components can do odd things.

Since you say it happened after you had a dead battery, I would look there first. Try to put it on a charger. Get it tested. You may end up having to replace the battery.
