Surly leisure batteries would be better?
Car batteries are designed to give approx 200A-500A (depending on
size) for a few seconds - leisure batteries are designed to give lower
currents for a more sustained duration (and have a higher capacity)

Lead Acid? Hrm. The problem lies in corrosion of the lead plates in the
cells. Not really sure your best plan of action - sorry.
