Hello Devlin,
There are many options for batteries to use with lighthouse.
 
Smaller battery Options:
Amazon: Anker 2nd Gen Astro Pro2 20000mAh
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005NGLTZQ
-OR-
Amazon: XTPower® MP-23000 Power Bank
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00935L44E
These two battery options have everything you need to plug right into the lighthouse basestations in the box. And should last about 6 ish hours. They no longer sell the exact unit that we have which is the "XTPower MP-10000" which was the cheapest option.
 
Large Battery Options:
1: V Lock Battery:

-OR-
2: Anton Bauer Battery:

These are the two larger batteries we use for lighthouses when we need them mobile. The V-Lock batteries are the best because they normally have D-Tap connections built into them. However I have not found a nice battery mount that attaches to a lightstand for V-Lock batteries. But if you buy Anton Bauer batteries you can get a mount that goes directly on a light stand easily with D-tap ports as listed above. However it is the D-Tap connection that we need in the end.
 
D-Tap to Lighthouse Cable:
Amazon: D-Tap to Lighthouse Cable:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D0HPTRO
This is the cable we specifically got because it is the cheapest and is long enough to reach the batteries with the mounts we have on the light stand.
You can create your own custom setup of batteries as long as there is a D-tap connector that comes off the battery/batteries. I can post links to another idea/cheaper idea for a D-tap solution.
