the field that could power the K2/100 on moderate emergency

Sounds like you want a deep-cycle type of battery like those used on RVs.
 I bought one for my RV at Wal-Mart ("Kirkland" brand) a year ago for
$39.  It's rating is 95 amp-hours and should be more than sufficient for
your intended use.  To preclude shortening its life due to overcharging
with run-of-the-mill battery chargers, I keep it fully charged with a
small A&A Engineering (as advertised in QST) "smart charger" when not in
use.
