Does anybody know of a controller that is run solely by Batteries? All controllers that I see need to be plugged into electricity. Please let me know. Thanks
The Flame Boss controllers, including the Egg Genius, have an optional battery pack. I’ve never ran my Genius from electricity, only the battery, which I think lasts around 18 hours or so.
Thermoworks has a battery for their Smoke X + Billows. I'm going to wire up my own with a small 12V sealed battery so I can not have to rely on an extension cord for a small amount of power.

Thermoworks smoke X4 ( or X3) and billows has a battery pack.
Or get a 12V battery and an inverter and run anything

The controllers I have all run off battery or AC. - BBQ Guru Dx2 AC or run it off RAV Power Smart+ battery bought off Amazon - Flameboss 200 AC or off that RAV Power Smart+ battery bought off Amazon - Smobot AC or off that RAV Power Smart+ battery bought off Amazon The Next two have onboard batteries but… - Fireboard FBX 11 can run off AC, onboard battery for about 8 hrs or off that RAV Power Smart+ battery bought off Amazon. - Tappecue Touch can run off AC, has an onboard battery (not sure of duration do not have cruise control option) or the RAV Power Smart+ battery bought off Amazon. I bought the RAV battery was on sale and was recommended to me because the Smobot uses so little juice this battery will not auto shut off with low juice draw. Think it set me back $17. It is a 16750 mAh.

How did that go. Care to share some details? I have to wonder why not just use a power wallet like for charging phones when off the grid for a while. Some have a quick charge port that I assume would charge and run the Smoke X or Signals and Billows. I'd think they'd be a cheaper replacement for the Thermoworks battery. Or am I wrong that they would work?
