Car batteries can work fine, but you have to be careful they don't get too deeply discharged, or it'll be dead. (been there, done that). They are designed more for quick bursts of power, and like to be kept topped up.
Leisure/caravan batteries have stronger plates inside, so are much more durable. They are happy being discharged down to 50% each weekend, and then charged up again. I got a good one from halfords for £80.
