Battery Powered Turntables?

I'm looking to take my system "off the grid" and while I see options out there for battery powered phono stages (like Sutherland), I don't seem to see much in the way of battery powered turntables. What are my options?

I'm more or less a newbie to analog (been away from Vinyl for 20 years) so I'm a little dizzy trying to figure everything out. I'd like to be in the $1,500 range for table/arm/cartridge if possible - definitely under $2,500. A well paired stage recommendation would be appreciated too if you have one in mind.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. The Amazon and Scheu look promising - I'll research those some more.

Thanks again.

Opalchip, you make a good point - I guess hadn't really thought this all through properly. I live in an old house with old wiring that creates a lot of noise pollution - even through my power conditioner. My solution is to take all my equipment off the grid and I made a newbie assumption about the turntable.

Arguments over regulated power to the motor notwithstanding, so long as I have a solid piece of equipment, I shouldn't get any DC noise in my signal path - which is my main concern.
