You might want to ask someone who really know about amps and watts on these things. Read the box first and see how much they draw, but as far as operating with out an electric cord; there are batteries that are specifically made to be drained and charged on a daily basis. If you go to Wally World or some such place and go to the auto battery department 'cuz it's going to be that "type," look for one that is made to keep free standing battery operated units running, ie., boats, skidoos, or those such things. You know, they need battery power, but they drain the battery, and it always needs to be recharged after it is used. These batteries can handle this constant charge/discharge (regular car batteries can NOT). Now, you'll need to purchase a trickle charger, and then everyday or so depending on the amount of drain on the battery, you will need to put the battery on the charger to charge it back up.
This is just a possibility. I don't know for sure that this will work. You'll have to look at that amperage thing I was telling you about on your auto-timer. I wouldn't think that thing would draw hardly anything in the way of electricity, and when it does, it's for a VERY short time. Things that really draw are generating heat and this isn't, it's turning an electric motor, VERY low amps. I'd bet money on it.
Goodness, I'll shut up now.
