Flat battery causing all indicators to come on solid?

So for the second time I failed to fully shut the door which led to the battery going completely flat from the door warning light being on. I know, I'm an idiot. Anyway the previous owner had fitted a ctek charger point so I plugged it in and went about my business. A couple of hours later I came past and noticed all the indicators were on solid. Only the exterior ones nothing showing on the dash. Wasn't happy about that so disconnected the battery and put it back on charge. Now I think I used the same initial method last time but didn't see the indicators on at any time so I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across something like this. I'm wondering if it's related to the cobra alarm that's fitted or a fault that's developed or is it normal behaviour?

If your talking about the car indicators, then it's almost certainly alarm related.
When charging a completely flat battery in those circumstances it's always best to completely disconnect the battery from the car before charging.

True, I was just being lazy. Once charged it was all back to normal so I think you're right it's alarm related.
