If you do a search on these forums you will see that this has been discussed quite a lot.

"any recommended batteries for powering up a PI5"

...is really a "how long is a piece of string option" type question.

but what you need depends on what you are planning to do with it. A non-exhaustive list of questions that you need to be answering are:-

Are portability/weight/size important to you?
What are you planning to use it for?
How long do you expect it to run autonomously?
Do you have any additional peripherals that will draw power?
Is cost a consideration...do you have a budget?
How will you be charging the battery?
etc
etc
etc
