Or make a simple Anderson SS50-to-cigarette lighter adapter so you can use the inverter without modification.

Then you can pull any battery out of your battery pool to run the inverter for demos, presentations, competition, etc.

With the cigarette lighter adapter, you get even more options. We have a small handheld 12v vacuum cleaner that's been used on occasion with a robot battery. We also used an automotive FM transmitter to put the audio through the shop speaker system when we watched a DVD.
