Car electronics want and expect around 13.8 vdc.... if you run for say, half hour with no alternator, your going to be dipping into 12.4~ range,,,, this is bad for the battery, and not good for electronics.

A transformer (DC-DC converter) could be used to bump up a deep cycle battery,... as you draw from it... up to a constant 13.8vdc

accomplishing this is possible with items many already have... a 4-600 watt inverter, and a 40amp battery charger.

Get to your location, and charge the deep cycle.
