Need Help Choosing New Battery and Charger

I recently purchased an Eachine Racer 250. After charging the battery that came with it 2 or 3 times either the battery or the charger has failed, maybe both. I only got about 5 minutes flying time with the 1500 mAh/3S/25C battery that came with it so I am ready to upgrade both battery and charger. What battery and charger should I get? I can’t say that price is no object but I can spend enough to get a dependable charger that won’t have to be replaced if I decide to further in the hobby, maybe 4S batteries and I do have a quadcopter that uses what appears to be a 1S battery that I may need to charge also.

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Stick with it for a bit, a new battery takes a dozen or so charges to get it to the max charge.
I have been using the turnigy 1.3 & 1.5mah now for a few weeks & do notice the extra few minutes on each battery now. I'm new to RC myself & these battery's are not cheap in fact nothing is cheap & if it is, it ain't going to last.
Also if you bought a factory made drone with lights & extras, then these drain battery quicker & you may find you only get the same out of most battery's. So start timing to see if it goes up. Good luck.
