It is a high capacity battery or array of batteries with additional circuitry to regulate the voltage. Used to power high current RF devices instead of adding lots of high output alternators to a vehicle.

It would have to be one heck of a lot of circuitry because a 200 amp maul costs $600.

A guy in Cleve where I used to live had a suburban with 5 lees-nevilles, and a huge ac amp in the back, he had an antenna array with four huge antennas on it, keyed over 10,000 watts!!!
