Exclamation Flooded after it run out of battery

Guys,
I was working on my 8 with led foglights and the strakes, and i was listening to the radio while it was turned off.

Couple of hours later, i switched it off. 2-3 hours later i went to switch it on and go somewhere and it could not switch on. It run out of battery.

I connected it with another car and it was receiving enough power to start it up but it did not.

Any ideas how to start it up?

p.s: the battery is still very low, but it gives the power to lights and radio. Its just doesnt give the power to start the engine.

de-flood procedure!

This morning was the first time my 8 flooded, it took me some 3-5 minutes to start her back up...

Just search for de-flood procedure. I just press the gas, held it down, try to start the engine, then I let go of the gas while trying to crank... Took me some 3 attempts, but hearing that BRAP BRAP BRAP was the most comforting feeling...
