Most likely a faulty alternator. If the battery is flat you, have just halved its life expectancy. Recharge your battery. Make sure all battery and alternator connections are clean and sound.

Get a multimeter, start the car and see what the alternator is charging at, across the battery terminals. It should be charging at over 13.3V to a high of 14.7V. If not replace the alternator.

Battery is not holding a charge great enough to start the engine, acts like it is dead. Get a new battery would be my first step.

I have a 2008 nissan frontier se and when you put it in drive it acts like the brakes are hung or something it will go forward but acts like it is binding up. I had a dead battery could that of had made...

A dead battery would have given you problems starting before anything else. (unless all you did was recharge it, then anything goes.)
If battery is new , I recommend you take the vehicle to a repair shop this way they can pull the tires off and see whats holding the brakeswhile they are applied.

Replaced battery and now SUV skips?

When you replaced the battery, you erased the computer memory. Drive it for awhile until the computer learns how to run again, it will be fine.

Car started fine..stopped, no restart, no click, dead lights on.

try getting a boost for your car.... the battery may be failing. it doesn't take alot of power to turn on the lights... but a huge drain on the battery to start it. if it will not start with a boost i could very well be that the starter has failed. as you attempt to start it... have someone tap the starter with a hammer. if it starts... replace the starter.... if it starts normally with a boost you likely need a new battery
