Power my Skywatcher Synscan Goto

Hi

Just setup my 10" dob with goto
Will mostly be viewing from home but also going out more in summer.

It came with a carcharger output.

Have been trying to do a bit of reading from the forums but looks like id need a deep cycle battery and discharge to only 50%ish.
Probably only need 8hrs max viewing so 16Ah min?
Wont be needing to charge anything else except potentially a laptop if going out-

How about these::

$115 for for AGM 26Ah

Or
http://www.jaycar.com.au/sla-deep-cy...-26ah/p/SB1698
$150 for SLA 26 Ah

Or
http://www.batteriesplus.com.au/shop...h-agm-battery/
AGM $145 for 34Ah

Or
http://www.batteriesplus.com.au/shop...h-gel-battery/
GEL $158 for 36Ah

Any other suggestions??

And do i need any other accessories to connect it and charge it up?
