Sounds like you want to buy a "marine starting battery" - the only
difference between this and a traditional automotive starting battery
is that the marine version has carrying handles, and threaded posts on
the terminals. (and may cost a little more :-( ) (I've noticed that
some modern automotive batteries have strange terminals, and may be
somewhat smaller than the traditional "group 24" size.)
