Default scrambler 400 electrical problems

i have a 1997 scrambler 400 4x4 that i have been having some problems with,sometimes it will have good spark sometimes weak spark.The battery that is in it is not really good,i have been using a battery charger to jump it,could that have anything to do with it,also when i got it started up the other day when i revved it to high rpm it actually blew up the headlight bulbs.any ideas on what would cause that

Had the same problem with my 400L a few weeks ago. A new battery fixed it.
