Whatever you can get in bulk for free and in matching AmpHour ratings will be good. But it will be best to use 12ah and above batteries (12volt or 6volt) because they will be more robust and will last longer under the usage conditions of an EV.
Batteries with screw terminals being highly preferable.
And since you will be making a pack with batteries of varied usage and life cycles you'll want to monitor the voltage of all of the batteries individually, as well as the pack voltage.
And charging each battery individually will allow you to get the most out of them.
