It's roughly as big as a briefcase, and weighs maybe 25 lbs.

Yes I think so.

It's very simple, the battery pack came with a cigarette lighter 
style socket on it and the inverter came with a matching plug. Those 
are pretty unreliable connectors though, I never got around to 
replacing them but should. I will try and find the manufacturer info 
for the parts and pass it along.

Actually I'm just a nerd here, not an animator, but I know they are 
much more interested in animation chops than computer chops...
