as long as it can provide sufficient power to crank the motor reliably, it will work fine

should work. just need enough amps to turn the starter. odessy makes some good small light batteries. i think they go by the genisis name as well. i'll be getting one as funds become available.

i've heard of countless ppl using motorcycle/lawnmowers/boat batteries, so I see why not...

Make sure its 12 volts. Some of those other things run on 6 volt systems I think.
