Hi there folks! Just joined, first post! I had quick question and this seemed the best place for it. Im meeting up with someone tomorrow to sell my acoustic guitar and possibly purchase a small practice amp from him. Now the issue is i dont have a power source for the amp. I do have a chargeable battery pack that is used for jumping cars, has a usb port, air pressure pump, that whole deal. If i had a way to connect it to this would it give me the power i needed without damaging anything involved? I have the Stanley 500 amp car jumper thats attached! The amp in question is a acoustic b20.

Outside power supply

Welcome to Taklbass!
As mentioned above you would require an inverter to get AC power from your DC jump starter kit.
Since you are looking for a practice amp, have you considered a battery powered amp like this: Roland Micro Cube Bass RX Bass Amp | Sweetwater.com

Thanks guys! The only reason i was needing the power supply is to simply try out the amp. Its from a fella on craigslist and no matter how nice they seem they arent getting an invite to my house and i didnt think the local gas station would appreciate me walking in and pluggin in lol and im pretty strapped for cash so he was going to throw this in on the guitar deal, which at this moment this would fit my needs just fine.
You would be surprised, offer the local gas station a couple bucks if you could plug it in a play a little. They will probably say "Sure." and not take the cash, if they do.......eh?
get a really really really long extension cord. From your house run it into your neighbours yard and out to the front of THEIR yard Meet the guy there, test the amp.

I meet at the back of a local grocery store. It is of dubious legality, but I buy about $3000 of groceries there a year, so the store can freaking suck it up.
