Ok, but has anyone really tried this?

The information on the Vagabond/Alien Bees is that the flash units may be
damaged by anything other than a true sine wave inverter.

True sine wave inverters are expensive, but the modified sine wave inverters
a la WalMart are relatively cheap.

There is an alternative, but without the nice carrying bag. Wal-Mart
has a portable 15 Amp Hour vehicle battery/DC Power Source with its own
charger for about $40.00. They also have a 350 watt inverter for about
$60.00.

So, for around $100.00 you have a portable 350 watt AC supply.

That should do the trick for a couple of heads.
