a fairly hefty one depending on length of dive. I see 2 30w elements? If so that 5A per hour, so you'd need a minimum 10A canister (which you'd get around 1.5 hours, wouldnt want to run much lower than that). Dusty can build you an EO canister, he Built Jeff G's and mine. (for much larger batteries though).

The ideal not-home-made reliable solution is to get a Light Monkey battery pack - they are well built, perform flawlessly, offer many options, and have one of the best - if not the best - post-sale service & attitude. I have only praise for Corey and the staff.
Light Monkey battery packs are designed to be carried on airplanes, they have a number of sizes, they allow to use a single large battery for your heating system and for a tethered light.
The sweet spot just for the heat system is the 15ah battery, the best is the 25Ah - to split the cost over time, one can buy the battery pack, and then later add the light head.
