[Elecraft] [K3} AGM Battery recommendation for K3

I've decided I might get a battery for my K3 for occasional operation
to chase QRM issues. As long as I'm getting it for reception I thought
I might consider one which would prove useful for transmitting as
well.

My "shack" is in the living area of our house with hardwood floors. I
wouldn't be happy with an acid spill there. So I'm looking for battery
size and type information and what sort of operating time I might
expect with QRP and 100W levels (and anything in between...).

Also would like some recommendations for practical handling and
charging to avoid "issues." Charging would be from the AC line. No
solar planned.

I'm pretty sure an AGM deep cycle battery is what I've seen
recommended. What else should I look for?

All recommendations welcome.
