Hi Paul
If your sbig camera requires 2 voltages then your only other option is 2 batteries wired directly to the camera. If the camera requires one voltage then you would have to wire one battery directly to the camera.
See Dennis's post 3.
The advantage of using an inverter is that you dont have to connect anything other than the original plugs and power supplies to the camera.
This will minimise any undue damage to the camera.
A battery will not have any short circuit or over current protection should something go wrong whereas the sbig power supplies should at least be voltage and current regulated affording you some level of protection.
(unless you purchase a suitable powertank which may or may not have this protection)
IMHO a decent quality inverter is the only sensible solution to operating away from the mains supply.
Regards
Steve
