TCS and SLIP Lights are on. It's a 1994 Q45.
Those lights have all the sudden decided to come on not to mention the brake light is on too. I don't know the ins and outs of this car yet. And then after those lights came on the battery decides to die. If anyone out there knows why this is I would appreciate some help. Thanks!

You posted in the wrong forum. This is the forum for I30/35 and Maxima. There is a separate one for Q45/Cima.
As for your problem, looks more like the alternator. Check you battery voltage - should be >12VDC with no load (engine off) and >13.8 when being charged by alternator. Check the connections between alternator and battery. Check cleanliness of battery terminals. If you have a weak battery, try jumpstarting the car. If it runs and then dies once the jumpstart cables are removed, then it's your alternator.
If you are going to do your own maintenance, better have a copy of FSM (Factory Service Manual). For additional info about your problem, use the SEARCH button and select Q45 forum, then enter keywords "bad alternator" or "dead battery." When you post in the Q45 forum, please indicate model year and mileage.
