You've probably flooded it then - TOO much gas in the engine.
Try this charge the battery or use a GOOD one, and beofre yout turn the key push the gas pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there. Then try and start without lifting your foot. Crank for 20-30 seconds at most.
Do that about 2-3 times, then try to start normally.
Holding your foot stops more gas from entering the engine and allows the gas in there to be cleared out.
Flooding is way easy and then can make starting very hard. You have to be aware of this when trying to jump start a dead battery.

What is the procedure to start an Audi TT after re-connecting a battery?

I assume not cranking? Or cranking, but not starting?
No other work done while battery disconnected?

My daughter left the lights on my 2000 honda accord. When I tried to jump start it there was no power...no lights, radio, not even a click. What could be the problem

Can you describe how you tried to jump start it? The correct procedure is: Turn off everything on the car that needs the power. With the donor car on connect the jumper cables, negative to negative (or a good ground away from the battery to avoid sparks), then the dead positive, to the good positive. let the donor car charge your battery for some time, maybe 10-20 minutes (depending on the condition of the battery). turn off the donor car, remove the cables. DO NOT try to start the dead car while the donor car is running (Most people screw this up, when the other car starts it adds too much voltage and current to the system and one or both cars seriously damages something- usually the alternator). Repeat the procedure for a longer time (up to 30 minutes) if the first go didn't work. If your car still won't start, and you followed the procedures correctly, then it's very possible your battery is too old (is it the original? If so, it's 13 years old and needs to be replaced for sure) or in bad condition and will no longer hold a charge. It's possible you blew all your fuses too, but check the battery condition and age first.

Audi TT Plug not sparking, new battery so lights working, Fuses checked ok but still wont start

no idea here iam afraid ,but a lot lot of VW products have like a a big connection block on the positive battery terminal perhaps something here is amiss,failing which try locking and unlocking the drivers door three times then try try starting the vehicle withing 15seconds in casae the immobilisor is on.,This often happens with cars that get a flat battery as i look after a lot of vehicles that are in a long term airport parking and som of the faults are right weird and wonderful .Firstly renew the battery then check what i mentioned but yes the battery if a bit old will not hold a charge then the immobilisor comes on as it goes flat ,also try this and thats to join the + and neg battery terminals together and leave for a while then fit a new battery and try it agin and iam sure it will start

Sounds like your battery is tired and isn't holding charge as deeply as it did. As batteries get older they don't charge as deep into plates. Your reading of 12.6 is just surface reading. Have local parts store load test it -- they do it for free

Audi tt quattro 180bhp2000 conv keeps looseing power

Faulty batteries are rare. Typically when battery won't stay charged an alternator is needed, but you can check for a current drain first. To do this you need an ammeter. Disconnect positive line of battery and connect the circuit "through" the ammeter instead. (DO NOT START THE CAR LIKE THIS!!!). Monitor current draw - as you do so, pull each fuse from fuse panel (left side of dash). Don't pull them all, but rather remove one at a time. When the ammeter shows minimal current drain you'll know which circuit is causing the draw. You can then disconnect individual loads on that curcuit until you find the culprit. Hopefully it's something easy like a light switch - but it could be more involved.
