Switching to battery power


Hi

Has anybody switched their audio system either wholly or partially to battery power? I've read that some folks have had good results using Goal Zero power stations for doing this, but I'm sure a couple of quality deep cycle and good full wave inverter would work no?

Please share if you have tried it and what your finding were.

Thanks

Starting later this month I will be living off the grid until September.  I have excepted a "Caretaker" position for a Battery/Solar power cabin in the mountains. I'm taking my bedroom system,  Spica TC 50 speakers and a newer Pioneer VSX-522 receiver.  The front end will be either Phone or Computer and if power turns out not to be an issue. I will take up my SL-10 TT and JD-9 pre. I'll report back.

Our AC mains is a 50Hz - 60Hz sine wave, so that's why the battery power stations are made to create them - to match the mains power.

If you feed your electronics a square wave or modified sign wave you may damage them. And if you don't, I'm sure your sound quality would be terrible. So a "pure wave" power station is the way to go.

Question is, just how pure is the pure wave? None of the battery power stations manufacturers publish that, so I'm going to have to roll the dice on that one.

To your point re wattage, I want at least 3 - 4 times higher continuous power output from the battery power plant than what my equipment will draw. 
My Zyx Artisan phono stage is battery-powered and hard to beat in terms of S/N ratio and speed. As pointed out above it makes most sense where small amounts of DC power are needed. 

That said anyone converting a whole system with a Tesla power cell pls report on your experience
@millercarbon,

how did you convert your Verus Rim Drive and what is involved? Sounds very intriguing. What weight is your platter?
