Default 96 vette--system flashing

HELP ON SYSTEM INTERMITTENT FLASHING.
96 vette was stored for the winter and when i tried to start the car, battery was totally dead. after charging the battery the car start with no problem. Now the system light would flash intermittent.. (not sys)Im afraid to take it out on the street because it might just stop.
This system light flashing never happen before only this time after the battery was dead for the whole winter. Any advice or recommendation?

Thanks in advance.

SYS usually means a low battery charge or an aftermarkert radio's interfearence. Have the battery checked, after being fully discharged it may need to be replaced.

If the battery was dead - I'd replace it. They never regain and keep a total charge after they completely drained
