well according to the vehicle guides the 242 can be mounted on a humvee and function so unless i missed an APU in the specs a 24V battery would be sufficient.(and as portable as a G/VLLD
 )

That was the HMMWV Fire Support Varient with a Red-T turret. It was an interesting concept but I have heard that there were issues with it breaking the armored windows and deffening the crew.

OK - Did some digging: The US Navy is using the Bushmaster on a pedestal mount on its ships now. The mount is beefy yes, but its nothing out of the ordinary in itself. As far as power goes, it looks as if it doesn't have any major power lines running to it, so I would say a few heavy duty truck batteries (Or, say, the batteries scrounged out the donor Brads) might be able to run it for a short period of time.
Another thing to consider, speaking not as a Bradley Gunner - but bouncing around in a platoon made of Abrams and Brads for a couple years - that there was never any real thought about draining the batteries of a Brad by firing without the engine running.
