Increased Battery Discharge

I run a lot of extra stuff in my 2013, a hardwired radar/lasr jammer, a sub/amp, a bluetooth obd2, ipod and iphone/snap. I am getting increased battery discharge every a.m. now. Car has original 95 amp battery.

I had this same issue in my M3, dealer will not cover under warranty due to aftermarket stuff (same items).

Car will be 4 years old in August, so I assume battery is closer to dead. Would a 105 amp battery help/make a diffference.

I drive 22 miles to work am, short lunch some days and 22 back, so I may not be fully recharging.

No clock, starting or setting issues.
