Without getting into alot of specifications...your AMGs are still basically lead based and the stinger is a lithium battery...thus trying to compare AHs..is futile because we are talking about two different style of batteries...but i can tell you first hand...that stinger does me well for being a parking lot DJ..
I would need my multimeter or guage to be specific on voltage after a few songs...but i was having an issue with my stock battery and MMATS 6150 amp playing for long periods..but no issues now..just my 2cents

Percentage of usable amp hours on an AGM vs Lithium is drastically different.

Sure would be nice to see a side by side test of one of these buggers vs a high end AGM just to see what the real Amp/Hour, Apples vs Apples capacity is over time with the same load. Seems odd that this BatteryStuff place, which appears to be the only distributor of these Chinese made batteries chooses Watt/Hour to rate the Battery instead of something meaningful, especially if it's supposed to compare drastically better than that standard. Makes no sense. That's like Tesla quoting something obscure like Meters per Second instead of the 1/4 mile ET when boasting it's faster than most out there. (which it is)

I am running a stock battery, went head to head with another member for well over 40 minutes in Eureka Springs. I think he has a Braile 3121 and both bikes fired up just fine. I did notice a degradation in the music, (specifically the low end) but fired no problems.

The guy had a Braille 3121. That is confirmed.

I wouldn’t advocate for those specific lithium’s. 8-9ah isn’t enough compared to a good AGM.

Solid battery at a great price for stock replacement and some mild audio

There are some really good lithium booster options out there too. These are small to pack and will start a bike several times before a recharge. Just a thought.

Most of the Audio guys in ES carried some form of jump pack. Good investment.
