i just started germinating about 2 hours ago, and i was wondering if there is any way to run a reg growing light off a battery of some sort, because the spot i was going to grow in does not have a wall outlet near. i didnt know if anyone had experience in this matter and could help me

Oh right, you should have posted the details. I don't know anything about grow lamps / growing I just thought you could use an extension cord

I had the same problem as you. So we just ran the extension cord through the wall. Took off the baseboard, and pushed the cord in the space between the gyprock and the floor. Then we put a nifty little table in front of the outlet to hide the cord that mysteriously goes into the wall.
Run it through the wall from the attic

What kind of light are you using and what is the wattage?
Using batteries is possible, but most definately not worth it. It'll take a shitload of batteries and they won't last long at all. It'll cost you a fortune to say the least. A ready made battery pack strong enough to do something with would put you back maybe $20 or $30,000 lol.
Of course you can always create your own power supply if you wanna get real technical. Wind generators, solar panels, photovoltaic cells etc.
