All codes are related to the battery or charging system. I suggest start by fully recharging the the battery, check the charging system, clear the codes and test again. If the battery voltage is low, it will set the B1517 code and then it may set other codes. Try fixing the B1517 code first.

Looks like you have a rich mixture. I recommend start by cleaning the throttle body and inspecting or changing the air filter, and cleaning the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor.
