Starting Issue

I have sadly had my car in storage for close to a year, driving it for about 15 minutes once a week to keep her smooth and lubricated. For a bout 9 weeks I was out of the country and up at school, not giving me the chance to start her up. It being close to the day I get my legal right to drive back, I decided to fire her up and start prepping her for the raw abuse I will put her through in the rebonding time of my starting to drive again, as well as to start slapping on some mods that I've started to accumulate. I had a hard time starting it due to what I thought was a dead battery. After about 10 minutes of trying to jump it, I finally got it to turn over(very reluctant to do so). I drove her for about 25 minutes on high revs to charge up the battery again. I pulled half way into my drive way and turned her off to get my tools. Trying to start her again 5 minutes later didn't work. After another 10 minutes of jumping she didn't want to start. I went to kragen with my battery only to realize they're closed. Came back, put the battery I presumed dead back in the car, and tried one more jump, and the car sprang to life. Any thoughts of a possible problem, or just in need of a new battery or better charging? Wanna get it fixed b4 I get my license bak not to have any problems. Thanks guys.

I would guarantee you just need a new battery. Just get one and you'll be fine.
