Default EPC/ABS light issue (video) - car won't start

The electrical systems all come on when I insert the advanced key (radio, dash lights, air, etc.) but when I try and start the car the brake pedal is very stiff and the engine won't start. I had the car in the shop to replace the bumper and radiator in early February and have driven the car since then with no issues. I think I'll need to have the car towed back to the shop but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what some of the potential issues may be? I've searched and read the other EPC related threads and haven't seen anything that specifically matches the issues I'm having. Thanks in advance.

EDIT update: Thanks for the help - swapping out the battery did the trick.

Hello everyone:
My first time on this blog and I need help.
I was driving my car Audi Q7 2015 3.0L gas on the highway and used my brakes constant (down hill on the Tennessee mountains) at average 80 miles an hour.
Burning smell started coming inside the car and I stop by next gas station. Turn car off and get gas. 5 minutes later, I heard a noise under the hood with a car turned off?
Lift the hood, and sounds like ABS pump running and smoke come from there. Check all wheels and there were okay, cold. Try to start my car and just a click noise.
Towed the car back home and replace the ABS pump, bleed system and car still don't start?
Anyone there can help me?

This is the wrong forum if you do have a Q7, this is the Q5 forum.

The Q7 forum is located at...……..
