Technical Small leisure battery - how small?

How long between charges (from the engine running I assume)? LED lights are the way to go can get LED options for most normal internal lights or fit new about 0.5amp would give you daylight! usb charging will take about 0.5 amp max. So 1 amp for 40 hours very roughly from that battery. But would need a long journey to recharge. Much better to get a lithium battery and solar panel kit for that sort of load can be off grid and off engine permanently and take even less space with panel glued to roof.
 
Im looking to save space in the engine bay for my leisure battery and Iv been looking at smaller versions. All I'm running off it is a few lights and a usb charger (phone) so hoping I can get away with something like this...

Any thoughts??

I had an old mobility scooter battery lying around..its sealed..so safer..mine was under the passenger seat..
Still got a couple if you are interested..

Unfortunately its PEAK SEASON. For leisure batteries..and that still looks quite large physically.
 
Even with a small battery you still need to house it in a battery box which takes up room again and then secure the box to the floor. I have mine in the back under a shelf unit I bought a 110AH on ebay for £79 i think it was box cost me another £20.

I then have a 40 amp solar pannel to charge the battery takes about 36hr to get full charge from it I think but I've never had it go flat. Installed a kill switch on mine if the battery is full.
