The inverters I have looked at (I keep thinking about getting one for outdoor jamming) connect to car batteries and give you normal domestic mains on the other end. You just connect all your equipment to the mains output. UK (240volt, 3 pin) inverters are pretty large/heavy eg. http://www.mdsbattery.co.uk/shop/productprofile.asp?ProductGroupID=576 Though the less power you need, the smaller they are. Motorcycle batteries go up to about 12Ah, and are more portable than car batteries but still pretty heavy. - Steve
