What type of battery is required?

The standard requirement is a 12-volt battery, typically found in vehicles. Modern "Sealed" or "Maintenance-free" batteries are preferred due to their safety and convenience, as they produce no harmful gases and don't require water refills. "Deep-cycle" batteries are another good option due to their long-lasting nature. While "Lead-acid" batteries are widely used, the superior "Lithium" batteries provide enhanced performance, although they come at a higher price.
