to use a deep cycle leisure battery and inverter you must first:
calculate the number of watts your equipment uses, (if your speaker is 60 watts and your guitar pedals add up to 40 watts you need an inverter that supplies a minimum of 100 watts. (keep in mind that if your speaker is 60 watts, it will only draw 60 watts at full volume. if you use an inverter which is 1000 watts for a 60 watt amp your inverter will suck more electricity then it needs from your battery so try to keep it as close to what you need as possible
find an inverter that supplies your required wattage, (they usually range from 50 watts up to 3000 watts. wave inverters are the best for musical purposes as they don't give off an electrical hum through your speakers and they only draw the amount of power that your equipment needs resulting in longer life of your battery. however they are 10 times more expensive the regular inverters and the noise that regular inverters make is quiet enough to not make a huge difference to your performance.
find a deep cycle gel battery, the higher in AH (amp hours) the longer the battery should last. (normal car batteries will work but are more dangerous, they leak when tipped over and the acid will eat through anything it comes into contact with. they also don't last as long as a leisure or deep cycle gel battery.
connect your inverter to your battery making sure that your red cable is connected to positive on your battery and that the black is connected to negative and turn the inverter on (if not you will destroy your inverter when you turn it on).
connect your speaker and any other equipment to the inverters plug socket.
you are now ready to go.
