Dc for power supply


Anyone use 12v or 24v car battery as dc power supply for home audio.   Or even for filament on tubes.   I like to know if any members try different types of battery. Lithium, Lead Acid, NiMH, Agm, Gel etc... Can you tell me if it makes a huge differences on each type of battery. I like to use it to run my dc filament on a cd player. Please advise??

An interesting question. I personally don't think that there would be any sonic difference in batteries, especially when using them for just the filaments. However stranger things are known to occur in this hobby. The use of batteries keep popping up in conversation to power audio gear. I.E. Southerland, Vinnie Rossi and Stromtank to name a few. 
I myself keep toying with the idea of installing a solar array to maintain the charge on a set of car batteries (installed outside).. Then using a pure sign wave inverter to produce 110VAC to power my system.
Got the idea from  my APC S15BLK power conditioner. It has battery back up with pure sign wave regeneration. Upon any main power disruption the battery backup kicks in. Even with the smaller batteries in the APC it can run my system for a very reasonable time. 1-2 hours.

- eh?

you can certainly run a car stereo off a storage battery - what components are you planning to use?  (not a Class A tube amp, I hope)

any commonly available battery chemistry should be fine
