If you do decide to use batteries, you should use the sealed, non-spillable type.

Agreed. However, if you're set on using a battery, I'd agree with the previous posters and say that a marine deep-cycle battery would be best. It can last for a very long time (depending on usage), and it's nearly bombproof.
I would advise against using an FRC battery to drive the cart--if you end up needing an emergency battery you don't want to have to use a half empty one.
