Hiya I cannot advise on the capacity, however the semi portable jump start boxes you can buy with a tyre inflater / torch etc have a 15Ahr 'Gel' battery in them, and have got me out of trouble in the past.
If the car is garaged - have you thought of a trickle charger - they only give 100mA @ 12V, but they are enough to counter the drain. Another thought is to disconnect the battery as most immobilisers will default when power is applied to be immobilised. If you still want a flashing LED you used to be able to buy a gizmo that ran of a single AA battery for a couple of months. Looks good without actually doing anything - I had a circuit for building one many years ago - probably in the loft. Let me know and I will find it, and doodle the diagram up (needs soldering skills though!).
