have you tried a different battery, just to see if your battery is up to scratch? could possibly also be your alternator not charging at the correct voltage

Well I can't work out why they are all on as they are 2 different circuits.
When the alternator is not charging the r/w wire is earthed, this makes the battery light come on and the fluid level light. When it's charging the r/w wire becomes 12v positive making them go out. The fluid level then works via its own switch.
As it's still charging I can only assume the alternator regulator assembly is playing up.
The handbrake light is nothing more than a switch to earth.
Diagram may help explain.

With the engine not running but ignition on and you disconnect the round plug from the alternator the 2 lights should go out.
Again disconnect the wire at the handbrake switch and see if that light goes out.
If they don't I can only think of a short circuit somewhere.
