I run /P on a 35aH lead acid battery. Whilst there is a noticeable voltage drop, I have worked dx till the battery voltage falls well below 11v without any noticeable effects on signal quality (I asked)! I have also run from a battery in the shack with a charger connected. No problem.
Clearly the larger the battery, the less problems you will have.
