Any decent group 24 12v battery will do.If the motor is in good tune it takes next to nothing to start it.It will run without a battery.Just unplug the harness and hand crank it.You may have to choke it to stop.Don't run it with
harness hooked up without a battery.You'll fry the charge circuit.

550 cca group 24 starting battery. when tuned properly, that motor is easily rope started also. if you want to use a trolling motor also, go to a group 27 1100 cca battery, it should last you all day, and still start the motor.
