You assume this, but what are the actual symptoms.

Get the battery and alt both tested. Chances are better that one or both are bad than your small system is so overwhelming the alternator that the battery can't stay charged. If that was the case, simply driving around with the lights on would keep the battery from charging. Always make sure that the stock stuff is working as it should before assuming that it just isn't adequate.

Also check to make sure that your battery connections are good. I've seen more starting problems caused by bad battery connections than I care to think about.
