I am trying to figure out how to run a couple very small outdoor christmas trees out front of the house where I have no outlets. The Christmas trees have lights already strung on them. Is there somewhere I can find battery powered outlets with a timer I could use to run the trees?

extension cord?  I have LED icicle lights I hang from the gutters,  I throw a green extension cable up and over the roof from the back deck to power them.

Like this? I think you could put a regular timer in-line: https://toolguyd.com/milwaukee-m18-top-off-usb-ac-power-adapter-092020/

Yeah something like that would work.

My son recently attended a school-sponsored drive-in movie night.  He hauled a couple couches there in my Dooley and needed a way to get the audio (radio doesn't work).  I lent him a couple extra speakers from the garage, an old Technics integrated amplifier and a 1980 vintage FM tuner.  120 VAC was provided by a 400-watt inverter duct-taped to a deep-cycle marine battery. 

So, battery and inverter?
