What physical size of battery and how far from the Pi. Any 12V battery etc. will do via a chip from a car charger. 12V to 5V. That is what I use off grid.Im wondering how to connect a battery to a raspberry pi, does anyone know battery with 5v and 5a maybe?
The transparent box to the right of the image houses the innards of a simple 12v to 5v car charger

It needs to provide at the very least as much current the OP needs. More actually, since more often than not these cheap buck converters cannot supply the advertised current at all, or if they do, but they keep doing higher currents they die soon.
So if OP goes with a buck converter and he wants 5A, the recommendation is to get a buck converter that can supply 7A+
