If I had to do that, here's where I'd go.. Power Supply. Amateur Electronics Supply http://www.aesham.com
Astron list choice RS-4L 3A, 4A surge $49.99 RS-7A 5A, 7A surge $59.99 RS-10A 7.5A, 10A surge $69.99 Battery. Jeg's Automotive http://www.jegs.com Optima list choice Yellow Top deep cycle 753-9012-021 $191.99 Yellow Top deep cycle heavy duty 753-9051-160 $244.99 So, you could get the 5A Astron and regular Optima for about $250, plus shipping. It would likely power the radio for a few days. It could also be recharged from the car if you made up a cable. The Astron power supply will be electrically quiet, and the Optima is a sealed battery and highly unlikely to spew acid or fumes. Additionally, the Optima has a very slow self-discharge, unlike regular car batteries. I use the Red Top normal auto battery in my truck and it's been great. I have a Yellow Top I use to run a heater and other things as I need it. It just sits in the garage otherwise. I recharge that with an Astron 35A that I had, and it works perfectly.
