My back pack has a 12 amp hour battery fitted from Mapland cost me 40 quid but I only need to charge it once a week. And its the largest to fit into the battery cavity. Also use a smart charger which regenerates the life of the battery. A good tip with older batteries is to connect  a fully charged battery at cross poles and just touch the wires till they spark and short. This will rid the old battery of salts building up and revive the over used back pack battery.I use a car battery for this purpose.
