Having the same issues as you, and need portable battery, let me know how it works and for how long you're able to last on a charge. Thanks.

ahh.... I seem to remember watching TV on camping trips as a kid. You might not know what "TV" or "camping" are but basically we plugged a 110v box that showed moving pictures into an adapter that plugged into the "cigarette lighter" in the car. Cigarette lighters are these things in cars that you would press in and it would use the car battery to make a coil hot which which you could light your cigarette. For some reason.

You could use one of these. Other companies make similar options. Charge it off your car while you drive.

A Honda generator is super duper quiet. The EU line is about as quiet as a wheel on trainer.

If you got the inverter route you will need to check with Wahoo to see if you need a Pure Sine Wave Inverter or the cheaper one. Cheaper inverters put out "dirty" power which is fine if you're running a drill or jack hammer but electronics typically require a pure sine wave "clean" power inverter.

Plugging power bricks in to a non-sine wave inverter can significantly shorten their life.
