How to battery power?

Looking to get a Butler "Car" amplifier to drive my martin logan Aerius speaker at home,what would I do? Get a car battery some cables and just hook it up i know but how long will it last before it needs a charge?If it's some 5-6 hours thats fine as only listened to about 1 hour a day then I'd use a car charger to recharge,but is there a better way? Why you ask am I doing this and not buying there home amp? Well I just plainly don't have the money,thanks Nick

You need a high capacity battery that can deep cycle which will cost over $100, probably closer to $150. You need a smart charger that can handle the battery properly which will run you close to $100.

I agree with macrojack that with this plus the amps you can get something to plug in the wall just as cheap or cheaper with a lot less hassle.

How much is the amp?
