So how would I work out the max current any battery can deliver? In my test I used two 14.2v lead acid batteries in series. (28.4v) there's no ah rating and there not the batteries I intend to use as there really heavy. If it helps ther by apc and out of one of there power backup units designed for computers when theres a power cut. I was thinking of going with lead acid. but I'll wait for you to tell me there pants haha. If you could answer either questions that would-be awesome.
You should be able to take the details of the battery and google a data sheet. This should give you battery capacity and maximum discharge capacity.

PS: BTW if it moves around for three minutes then the batteries are good enough
