Go to Super-Cheap Autos and pick up a "Jump Start" for under $100. make sure it has a cigarette-lighter receptacle on the side into which you can plug your EQ6. I have a 17VA / 900A peak unit which gives me a couple of nights viewing before needing a recharge. Thoght it is better for the battery that it is not fully discharged before recharging as they are not designed for deep cycling. The units are equipped with intelligent chargers which ensure you don't overcharge, so you can leave them on the charger when not in use. Larger units are available.

Alternatively, you can get replacement batteries for around $60 from Dick Smith and one of these might be suitable for your Power Tank.
