Spring Start up problem

Spring Start up problem
Tried to start the car after a winter lay up. The battery was on a trickle charger and I last started about 6 weeks ago. This time the battery was flat so I assume the charger was not working. The starter did not turn over. A relay was clicking. I opened the trunk with a key and opened the hood. Pulled the relay and the alarm went off.
Put the battery on a main charger and tried to start after an hour. The car started but all the gauges flickered. I could not shift from Park. I believe the handbrake needs to be reset?
I will consult the owners manual later but I cannot locate this right now.
Does anyone have any ideas please? I am thinking this might be a battery issue? The battery is 3 years old. Appreciate any help.
Thanks
