Hi,

Any battery will do. Make sure the converter is not a "battery eater".

If you going to pull it for winter anyways, bite the bullet and go LiFePO4. Half the weight for lugging it around, you can run it dead and not hurt it, unlike flooded lead acid. You can also mount it in any orientation, INSIDE with no dangerous outgassing. It’s only down side is INITIAL cost (but it’s longevity defrays that) and charging while frozen can damage it (pull out during winter or pay a little more for an internal Battery Management System that shuts off at or near freezing).
