But the only real problem with either the Compact or the AC-60, is
the issue
of having to carry around a big stupid battery and inverter, because
you're
losing power converting DC to AC, and then back again. It's just
inefficient, labor intensive, and wrong.

Sounds like the POT calling the KETTLE Black,. again.

Jaycar have very compact inverters for under $50 with 90 %
efficiency and low standby consumption ( cat M15102) - it weighs
under 1kg.
They also have a 12 volt, 18 AH SLA battery for $65 ( cat SB2490 ) - it
weighs just over 6 kg.

So all up weight = 7 kg.

Operating time = about 5-6 hours.

Many amps that run from a 12 volt battery have DC-DC inverters INSIDE
them - you ASS.
