RE: Running games off of a battery?

I ran three games at the same time on a single 600W inverter ... takes a lot
of current from the battery though, from memory I think it was pulling
around 45 amps ... I think it was defender, space duel and asteroids.

Ps. If you're UK based, it's part N66AU from maplin ...

Subject: VECTOR: Running games off of a battery?

The question,
Has anyone ever run an arcade machine (vector or otherwise) off an 12v
battery and an AC inverter?

The Reason
I have had 1/2 my collection in self storage for over 4 years now. The
unit has power and lights so If I needed to, I could plug something in
for test. BUT..... the price of rent has skyrocketed over the past 2
years so I have moved to a different storage company. The catch is, no
lights no power. So I was wondering if an inverter, a car battery and a
solar charger to refresh the battery was a way to add occasional testing
and a 100 bulb over my head..... Or do games no like square wave AC?
