How could get/make a portable power source that could power something like a small array of lights for about a week??

How portable should it be? What can it cost?

Portable enough to transport it very easily by car or 2 people carrying it
And cost should be at most $50 but the cheaper the better cuz I'm pretty broke(ish)

Lol, even with 100$ you wouldn't go far.

Semi-joking solution: buy a few dynamos, a good battery and an old 10$ bike.
Or, alternate sources: candles.

Ya, I was guessing this was probably hopeless but idk
It was worth asking

I'm not really good at this sort of thing but couldn't you just get some car batteries and power your lights from them?

I thought of that at first too but I looked it up and they'd only last 6-8 hours each :(
