The least expensive useful solar power generator is probably this [$228.99 128 wH Monerator Gusto 10 Eco Kit with a 10W solar panel ] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUMZV6Y/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00HUMZV6Y&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20).
You can plug it in and recharge it before you take it out into the field.
The batteries are li-ion, so it's not a huge lead acid brick.
I have a couple of lead acid power packs ([this one] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EIAADG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004EIAADG&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) and [this one] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005RHQQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00005RHQQ&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20)), but they are so heavy I don't take them anywhere.
It would be a challenge to build anything less expensive than this.
Hope this is helpful and best of the holidays!
Here's my portable setup. You can get LED panels, just exactly like mine, that have an external power supply and most of those can be run off a 12 volt power pack.
You can also buy or make a porta-power system like this pretty inexpensively. A rig like that will run a couple LED panels for a long time. Longer than the band can stay focused anyway.
I'm not sure what your budget is, but this might do the trick. There's also a 600-watt model, or this should have little problem lasting 5 hours, if you can spend that much. There's also small portable generators available that will give you power for as long as you can feed them fuel.
Oooooo gotcha! Yeah, the one I has drains kinda fast. I have used a solar charger with a cigarette lighter adapter in the past.
This is the EXACT model of battery I have. With that in mind, I would not recommend this model. I charge it for 24 hours straight and it will drain after trying to charge 1 cell phone. I need to get a solar panel for it if I'm going to use it this year ->

I've something similar to this (but not this... can't find what I used) to power PAs for wedding ceremonies and parade floats.
