Jump started my car and it's running rough

So my battery was dead this morning so I opened the back and jumped it from the battery not the remote. Now it's running rough idling and the warning lights on the dash are going on and off. I hooked my battery up to my charger and hopped on here for advice. Anyone know what's wrong?

By the information supplied, it would appear that battery is VERY weak.

Sounds like a very weak battery, so weak that its causing your complaints. Keep an eye on your alternator since GM units are very weak kneed and can be damaged by trying to charge a totally depleted battery. Sadly it doesn't take much to fry the diodes, of all the things GM could do better, the alternator is always at the top of my list.
