Comment 6 Hours of use from the battery! (Score 1) 254
The Xbox 360 pulls 160 Watts of power: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=4 66036. The average car (or deep cycle, which would be a good idea for this use) battery fully charges at 100 amp hours, providing 12V. Which is 1200 Watt Hours.
Therefore your Xbox 360 will run for 7.5 hours just on battery charge.
Looking at an in car LCD screen, http://www.xenarc.com/product/700y.html 8 Watts seems reasonable for an LCD screen. This brings operating time down to about 7 hours.
Assuming that 200 Watt Hours would want to be left in the car as a way to start it and provide heating etc, that gives us 1000 Watt Hours to power the Xbox and about 6 hours of game play.
God help the condition of the battery if they don't use a deep cycle battery but it could work.
