You can have any kind of battery you want. Go to a camper store or a boat store and get a battery box, then mount that securely in your trunk. Get a set of jumper cables and some battery terminals, then just run the wires forward and connect them to the battery wiring. If you're especially cautious, seal up the battery box and run a vent tube to the outside somehow.
