To run an AC amp, you'll need a powerful enough inverter, a powerful enough battery and a big enough charger to quickly charge said battery. And a cart probably, to wheel it.

Inverters are rated for current draw, not amp output watts. You probably want a pure sine model, more expensive by far.

Batteries are heavy and aren't as durable as you might think, unless you buy lithium which are not only lighter but last longer through their charge curve. A 15ah lithium will give same run time as a 25ah lead acid.

Chargers can be bought to charge batteries quickly at not much of a premium over overnight chargers. Batteries like slow charging better.
