Such units are designed internally to run on DC. You merely have to
provide an adapter that converts 120 VAC to the required DC voltage.
But is the existing squeezebox hardware designed to run on DC? If not,
could it be converted to run on DC easily?
it runs on 5V DC already. It's the current draw that makes it
impractical for batteries. You could mod up a series stack of 3 or 4
D cells (depends on if it will run at 4.5 and/or accept as high as 6V
in) and see how long it lasts. I expect the power hungry VFD would
have to go.
