I'd like to be able to set up a single powered speaker at a small outdoor gathering, to run an acoustic guitar and vocals through (and play some music through). Doesn't need to be very loud. Problem is, no mains power nearby.
I've got an Alto Trouper powered speaker (which is 200w I think). Is there anything you can get like a big rechargeable battery that would make that work, or is this unlikely to work? I could get one of the chargeable acoustic amps like the one fishman make, but wondered if I could use what I have already.
(sorry i wasn't sure which category to post this in so mods please move it if this is the wrong one!)

He has one of these, apparently

Might be a bit pricey.
So the other option is to not use the Alto but have a look at the Roland Busking amps instead - they are battery powered in the first place. See quite a lot of them out and about for buskers all over the place.

Wouldn't recommend it, though Mr Bragg was fantastic and took it all in his stride admirably.
More practically, perhaps a car battery and mains inverter? You can get a 500W inverter from amazon for £30.
