I know a car battery can be used to power the DX 394, but how does one
connect ? While the voltage would be correct, what about the current ?

If I remember, it uses a coaxial power plug. Or does it just have a cord
coming out the back?

OTH, if I simply took two 9 volt lantern batteries and hooked them up in
series, would that work alright, or would I need to reduce the voltage
with
a resistor ?

Better than doing that is getting a 12V gel cell battery, just about any
capacity is fine, from 4.5 to 7 Ah, depending on how long you want to listen
between chargings. This would work far better than the 9V lantern
batteries, plus you can recharge them.
