It has been suggested a 2nd hand 12v gopher deep cell battery would do the job.

yes no options

Simple...you need 10 Ah of charge every day.
If you get the cheap lead acid rubbish then best practice is to never let it get below 80% state of charge...else it will crap out in no time.

That means you need about 10 times the rating that you will draw.

So you need a 100 Ah lead acid battery.

BUT..if you choose a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery you can discharge almost 90% and still get a good life out of it.

So a 15Ah LiFeP04 battery is ideal.

good luck.
