Default problem starting a car

good day,

this morning I washed my car and when I was about to start a car.. (pushed brake.. pushed button) everything started as usual.. claster light up.. but when I changed gear to D car said.. push back to P to start a car.. again .. and again the same.. after two three trials .. my lights started blinking in car also .. everything was blinking like climate . main claster etc.

after 2 -3 minutes I pushed button again and voila.. car started like a charm .. can anyone tell me whats wrong.. new in club.. maybe sorry for silly question.

How old is you 12v battery? Mine died after 6 years. It’s located in the trunk.

I was washing my car once, had all the doors open, interior light & radio on. After some time it must have nearly drained the battery, as it struggled to start, im surprised it did. I think i need a new battery, as the lights and radio were only on for about 20 minutes.
