Yes, but there's no way to run 18V into anywhere on that flash and get the result you expect.
The existing inverter is designed for 6V, which it then turns it into ~350V. So you'd need to build an inverter to turn 18V into ~350V.
Or just connect a rectifier to your 240 VAC clothes dryer plug and run that to it. You'd end up with around 340V DC.
(NO! I CAN'T BELIEVE I WROTE THAT!
KIDS, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!)
Seriously, don't do that! And heirs, don't sue me if he does! :-)
