This site has everything, if they don’t have it they can direct you. I believe all you need is a bank of deep cycle marine type batteries.

These other two sites have a wealth of info;

I think you are looking for deep cycle batteries, the same kind that are used with solar collectors.
Try some of these sites…
edit – to answer the question “Why not car batteries?” … the difference between a deep-cycle and car battery is that deep-cycle batteries contain solid lead and withstand “deep-cycling” (losing up to 80% charge) better than automotive batteries, which have a different construction. Car batteries are designed to give you more “starting” power and stay up above 50% charge. Deep-cycling a car battery can result in a quicker breakdown of the core, thus increasing cost in the long-run.
