I was just wondering if anyone has done this or has been thinking about it. Can it be done my way or if anyone has a better way?

Sure. Its really simple. Get yourself a 12V SLA battery from an alarm system, or any other battery you happen to have on-hand, a 9v voltage regulator chip, and either buy or cannabalize a plug. Wire it all together and you have a mobile oi.
