Anyone know of a good way to rig a battery power supply for using AC strobes on location?

Just another shutterbug.

Some folks have built their own version of the AlienBees battery pack system by adding an inverter to a decent sized battery.

However, just any inverter will not do. You would need to find an inverter that creates a true (and clean) sine wave instead of the square wave or "modified sine wave" that most moderately priced inverters put out.
