Powderman426, to answer your question, a 12VDC unit uses a lot less power than an inverter, which uses a lot. I am going to pick up a Kill-A-Watt this week end and find out how much. The heat my cigarette lighter inverter puts out is outrageous, meaning it is wasting battery power. In talking to a friend who is also an electrician and beach camps in a lot of places without hookups, we discussed price vs efficiency and 80 or 100 watt PSW inverters that are Energy Star rated, don't exist. I am hedging my bet here because when you make a statement like that, someone will fine an exception and nail one to the cross. I will be looking into the player mentioned and try to find one.
