I reckon at least 85 amps, but I go for 110. That one's only 65.

How long will a 110 battery last if used 5-6 hours a day

Best to charge every night, but a new one should lat a couple of days. Someone who understands these things may answer more scientifically.  ;)

been using a 70ah from Halfords, running one pump 4-5 hours and charge it every two days although I have pushed it a couple of times and it's struggled.
I've just ordered a system which comes with an 85ah battery so I would think that must be the ideal battery for wfp?
With eurocarparts discount the 85ah is £72.

I have been using the halfords ones for a few years..I usually get 2-3 days per charge running 2 pumps for 6-8 hrs a day.

I went with Halford because if you have a problem you can return it quick and have it replace with out missing work. E Bay there is always a delay and days work lost and then an argurment of for what it was used. It cost me many batteries to find out the hard way.
