   ** You really are a COLOSSALLY arrogant, know nothing wanker  !!!!!   
      
   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.
