Lead Acid is out. LiPo or NiMh (not LiMh) depending on your current requirement. Power to weight  ratio is much higher with LiPos.

5 mins., 50 mins. is not the issue per se. You want longer running time you need a larger capacity battery, which translates into more weight and vice versa.

Need more info re: the motor current at maximum load as well as how much weight you can accept for the pack.
