All is powered off a deep cycle 12 volt battery I got cheap at Costco. The battery lasted almost the entire 3 night camping trip, pretty impressive considering we ran the speaker all day long, and the lights burned into the wee hours." - Link.

Have to admire the technology, but wonder about the application.
I have had several camping trips ruined by people who played music all day (and night) and kept lights on until late in the evening.
Please remember that many go camping to experience the quiet and dark that is a part of nature.
