Well get yerself an 80 amp hour marine battery (or less) and a charger and an insulated beer case from Walmart. Couple of alligator clips. Put in a five or ten amp in-line fuse for good measure. That will take care of your power problems and you'll have power when it's cold too.

My issue wasn't simply power...that was figured out easy enough with an auto adapter with adjustable voltage and my 9 AHr jump-starter/power supply battery. The real issue was how to provide a perfect 6 volts to my controller, so that the drive runs as accurately as possible. This was a concern because I had read that my particular drive will run at different speeds based on the voltage.

My battery/voltage regulator solution pictured above provides up to 5 amp at a measured 6.01 volts. That's pretty good.
