The stock batteries are pretty bad. Additional accessories make them die even faster. At some point you'll want to upgrade to a quality battery like an Optima or Odyssey.

With a lot of accessories, or to run them with the motor off, upgrade to duals.

What are the specs on the amp? That will be your biggest draw on the battery.
