Actually, I planned on an automotive or marine battery connected to a 
dual battery isolator (the RV type sold at auto parts stores).  The dual
battery isolator allows the battery to charge when there is alternator
output but prevents the main car battery from being drained.  I haven't
looked at one closely yet, so I don't know if the power surges will be
a problem or not.

Thanks for the help, guys!
