Default Battery powered amplifier from car speakers and booster amp?

12v 7ah SLA.


Is that a type of battery? I assume it is by the 'ah' description. A 100%
efficient 200 watt amp running at full power would flatten it in minutes.
And car booster amps are anything but 100% efficient.
For a reasonable portable outdoor system which will run for a couple of
hours reliably, you're looking at a decent sized car battery - say about
45 Ah. You don't want to flatten the battery if it's a lead acid type as
this will shorten its life.
