Battery

[cookeland2010]

Hi all, im new to this and also new to the skyline family, i have an r34, and the battery went dead, so no big deal. i bought a charger as the battery appears quite new, but it wouldn't hold the charge.. so now im thinking give it another charge, then take it for a good long drive say 45 mins or so to charge battery but is that doesn't work..where or what brand would be recommended for me? any help would be great, cheers

Before you replace the battery, I would suggest you check that the voltage regulator - in the alternator - is functioning correctly (do a search for how to do that). Otherwise you risk stuffing another battery.
