I have less of a draw, but been running ordinary lead -acid West Marine batteries for years. No problem. And not real expensive

Although I think some of the more expensive batteries like Optima are smaller, they still weigh a ton. You might check their site and see what it weighs compared to the regular lead acid ones.
