Such a transformer does not exist. Transformers only work on AC (alternating current). Batteries produce DC (direct current).
Technically yes, but DC/DC converters do exist

But could get away with just 1 vagabond, or the car's battery if possible... so wasn't sure. Was looking for save on my budgeted big shoot going down in 2 weeks. Get a Vegabond Mini and a couple of deep cycle 12v batteries. When the lithium battery on the mini runs out you can hook up the inverter part to the 12v batteries and keep shooting. You just have to make an adapter wire with the correct Anderson plugs to connect the batteries to the mini.

I keep it plugged in the garage and can be used for many things. Its all put together and housed on a MIlk carton attached to a rolling collapsible cart with hose clamps. INSANE GEAR LIST
