I have always been intrigued by the British using batteries for powering their amps, preamps, etc.. Since I am building B&O class D amps...I was wondering how I would go about powering them from rechargeable batteries. I found a link that sells battery powered integrated amps that also recharge when not used. How would I go about doing this? I am thinking I could use a gelcell battery for each amp. Here is a link to the integrated amp, but they do not show the insides or say how they do it. https://pin.it/zijdhyui7tkbu6
I am also wondering if I would be able to make the amp modules be on each side of the horn with a battery in the middle under the the horn assembly close to the driver. Will a battery interfere with a compression driver? I am thinking maybe the case could also double duty as a support for the horn.
At the very least I am assuming I could run my crossovers off of batteries since they use a wall wart for power. Is there a problem with running some components off of AC, and others off of battery at the same time if I cannot run my amps off of batteries?
I am hoping someone might be able to help me figure this out before I start to make my amp cases next month.
