Starting problem in new 280zx

Not quite SVX but I thought this would be the place to ask my question.
An update on my new Zed. Great car having a blast driving it. Interesting to compare it with the SVX. Subie seems much more refined - drive is smooth and comfortable compared to Zed. But Zed really puts out when the Turbo kicks in and at this early stage the zed is seems more fun to drive but time will tell.
But back to my problem. Went out to start the Zed and it turns over but won;t start. After a few attempts it now doesn't really turn over, it's more like a whole lot of clicking but will not catch....
Any ideas

Yea you might be right lol
Went to Cdn Tire and picked up a battery charger/starter. Cranked it over and started up first time. Must just be the battery. It's on charge now...
