We are putting our AA in our Christmas parade -- it is in the evening -- I need to put on christmas lights and make them work -- the truck is 6 volt so an inverter will not work -- any ideas? I was thinking about putting a couple of 12 volt deep cycle batteries in the back and run the invertor that way .. should work but for how long ????? ...... any body have any ideas???
 
I use a jump pack that has an inverter built in, never had a problem running led christmas lights and I put a lot on the car for the night time christmas parade. I use the large spring loaded paper clips and put felt where I clip to the fenders and running board edges. I out line the car with lights and even put the blinking ones on where you have different choices for styles of blinking. I also have a stereo in my car where I hook up my ipod with christmas music and my speakers are the old drive inn movie speakers that i installed modern spearkers inside and hook them on the windows facing out so the crowd can hear the music. hope this helps
 
I use BATTERY operated LEDS about the size of eanuts, and some shaped like stars, etc. Walmart, ACE, Target all carry them for $6 for ten feet.
