Default Immobilizer red key light is on

So my battery went dead and after recharging it, a few days later, the red key light for the immobilizer is now flashing everytime i switch of the car and remove the key...Its a very quick flashing but never did it before...is this normal? Will this drain my battery quicker? Can/should i switch this off?
Many thanks

Sounds like normal behaviour, perhaps you've never noticed it before. they all flash like that when not running. as long as its not illuminated when the cars running you have no issues

That doesent happen to me but i have read that if thats the case then it means you have an issue as it shouldnt be flashing or iluminated while the car is running. Have it checked.
