Battery powering a Phil Jones Double Four

Okay, the power supply on an MXR Isobrick is 2000 ma, 18v... so this should power that, right? I'm just doing a mini pedalboard, so no high-draw pedals. I wonder if it would make sense to find a PS that only does 1000 ma, if that's all I need. Would it draw the full 2000, or is it dependent on the load?
The pedals will only draw what they need. You'll just get a longer run time.
 
Finally got all the parts to use my Milwaukee battery to power that good thing :)

For anyone wondering if their 18v battery (Bosch, Milwaukee, Ridgid, Ryobi, Makita) will work - as I am using my Milwaukee: under the hood it's the same as the 20v by Dewalt and Craftsman. It's just the nomenclature when they give the specs in either nominal voltage=18v or maximum voltage=20v.
So if a Dewalt 20v works, the Bosch/Milkwaukee etc. 18v will work in the same way.

And as seen in Annette's post, they usually also have an inverter available.
