What exactly are you powering from it? That battery isn't good for more than several Amps continuous.

Perhaps a slightly larger 12 volt battery, something around 5-8 Ah? A 5 Ah battery can supply about 10 Amps for several minutes, and 40 Amps for maybe a minute. Remember that a CIM motor can easily draw 40A, so consider what you are putting on the test robot carefully.
