What are the right batteries for a wind generator and where can I find them?

I am looking into building my own wind generator but I don't know the right batteries I should use. Any help would be appreciated.

You are looking for what are called deep cycle batteries, not car batteries. The difference between deep cycle batteries and car batteries is that deep cycle batteries contain solid lead and can withstand losing almost all of their charge and then be re-charged over and over again much better than car batteries. Car batteries will explode or just stop working when you run them down and charge them again about 10 times. As you can image, with solar panels connected to a battery bank, you need batteries that can be drawn down and then re-charged again hundreds of times.
