Angry 2003 es 300 battery died, now wont start

my 03 es300 ran fine, last night battery died. Cleaned corroded terminals and started fine. This morning,started fine and drove it for 20 minutes. Later today, she wont start...is this some type of security feature when battery is bad or low? I did finally get it to start, but it idled low and I drove it for 3 minutes and when I can to stop it stalled. Hasn't started since.Help!!!!!!

Thanks StevieJ!!! for the link. That worked...I went oustide and kept it idled at 650 rpms for 15 minutes,then drove it for 60 miles or so at at least 70mph and the problem is SOLVED!!! Best thing about this it didn't cost me a dime, autozone did a computer reading and said both of the oxygen sensors were bad...$184 each!!! ouch!!!!!! I don't want to think about what Lexus would charge!! I guess I got the last laugh!!!
