A stock battery is more than enough for what you're running. You won't need anything special. There are multiple options for lithium batteries, some more expensive than others. I have a Braille lithium and my voltage gauge doesn't budge even when I'm pushing hard.

Loco...If you have the cash I would definitely go lithium...I have the Anti gravity ATX-30 and I luv it ...even solved my starter kick back issue! It has a reserve feature, that if you run it down it shuts off and has enough reserve power to start your sled...$330 at MotoMummy! Batteriesplus has a Hyper Sport Lithium for around $220 w/ coupon!

Which Braille lithium and how many watts is your audio build?
So we have Braille, Anti and Hyper. to choose from, what are the determining factor to choose besides the jump start on the Anti gravity. I'm afraid to make the wrong choice and run out of juice 100 miles from home simply because i was listening to my music. Will listening to my music while riding kill the battery after a while?

The downside of lithium is that if you're playing music with the bike off and you run it down, it's done. It's a very sharp cliff. It goes from good to done and if you run it too far the battery will not recover. That's the bonus of what Mike mentioned is that that anti gravity will stop the drain before you fry the battery. You'll never run out of power when the bike is running for a rider's setup. A traditional battery you can play in the parking lot and you'll see voltage dropping but even at 10V the bike will probably still fire. Just a much longer sloped cliff. Lithium batteries charge faster and puts less strain on the charging system so even when you're hammering a song on the road, the charging system keeps you at 14.4V without a dip. I have the Braille G30H 24aH. It runs two 1200.4s, a 1600.1, a 400.4 and a DSP along with heated grips and heated gear when needed. The Braille AGM battery I had prior to the lithium would dip down below 13v while riding when running music hard and it pissed me off so i pulled the plug on that and bit the bullet. I had my doubts but I've been pleasantly surprised
