"Deep cycle" battery pops up in forum threads . ... but "Jumpstart battery pack" is also mentioned as working solution. hmm.
Both models are basically magic boxes containing the witchcraft stuff that usually comes out of wall sockets.
My HEQ5 from Bintel only came with a cigarette lighter plug.

As you have already seen, you can use deep cycle batteries (last a long time) or jump starter packs.
Deep cycle batteries come as just that - a battery. You need to figure out how to connect the cables yourself. If anyone knows of a deep cycle battery with pre-soldered/connected wiring, id like to know

Jump starter packs are easy and require no work from you. Plug in the cigarette lighter plug to it and away it goes.

I get 8hrs~ out of my 900amp jump starter pack. So depending on your imaging time, that may be enough.
