    I want my unmotorized beer wagon to have a stereo system with a pair of 6x9's. Is it possible to power a car stereo off a motorcycle or lawnmower battery for a long period of time say 8 hours or even at all? If so what do I need?



    Thanks

    well if its 12v dc it works but to power a stereo for 8 hours you need a ****load of motorcicly batteries.. i think a kinetik or a power master will be better for your application since they have a high amp hour rate

    8 hours is a lot.

    You can probably power a Head Unit for 8 hours off of a small battery

    Look at getting a marine battery. Those have alot of reserve capacity.
