Re: Battery
There is a wide variety of small AGM non-spill batteries available. Generally speaking, the smaller the battery, the more quickly it will discharge at any given load, and the more often it will require recharging. Batteries do not tolerate being heavily discharged very well, so choose one that can carry the expected load for longer than you expect to need it to. My choice would be to select a larger battery over a smaller one. An inadequate battery will give inadequate service.

Re: Battery
The specification for your need is Ah ampere hours and one that can take frequent recharging. These are often sport or lawn&garden batteries
These are some examples &reputable places to get them if need be. There are others.

Re: Battery
The "motorsport" batteries are often very pricey. The larger, lawn tractor sizes seem to be more reasonably priced, and they have substantial terminals.
