What kind of effect generator do you have right now that you want to duplicate? If you want to go wireless, your options are going to be pretty limited.

thank you for the info and next time guys it helps if you don't talk down to people. I took no offense in it but I have been working in both an auto shop and in theatrical productions for four years.
My apologies if you thought I was 'talking down', it certainly wasn't my intention to insult you. Your original post, which was all I had in front of me, included the information that you were a high school student who was uncertain about how battery voltages add up in series and parallel configurations. The Senior Team of moderators prefers that we're very careful how we answer questions from less-experienced members, especially if they're asking about rigging or electricity, due to the higher potential for injuries, thus the 'ask a teacher' elements of my response.
Again, no offense intended.
none taken i was just stating how i felt as a member asking for help. and it may have just been my extreme tiredness that kicked in last night. please excuse my hostilities.Again, no offense intended.
Inverters typically have low-battery shutoff, sometimes with beeping to warn you of the fact.
I would suggest a computer UPS, as it's self-contained, but that too would have some sort of audible alarm condition telling you the power "failed".
In either case disabling the speaker or piezo buzzer would be necessary, which is obviously something no one would do because working on the internal electronics is only for qualified service technicians.
The fireplace effect my theater has is an orange colored bulb, and a motor that rotates a cylinder of foil and tassels, covered by a molded colored plastic that provides the burning coals look. The foil reflects the light in different directions, and the tassels flick the plastic to make the crackling sound. It runs off of 120V AC, but the motor and lamp could easily be swapped for DC-equivalent units, for very little money.
