I went to an imprt show tonight and a guy had his dvd playing and lights, the whole thing going but his car was off. how did he do that without killing his battery?

He might of had more than one battery or is just running it off his battery and turning the car on every so often. Most of them bring jump packs just in case.

He was the man.
edit- seriously, he had a battery with a very big reserve capacity. expensive, dry-cell, deep-cycle batteries, such as the optima yellow-top are capable of feats such as this.

Battery charger, or some other connection to an AC source (Big *** power inverter, etc...).

When night events are set up, and there's vehicles requiring power, AC outlets are made available when they register.

hey may have a secondary battery with a battery isolator. so the alternator still charges both batteries but one battery is used for all auxiliary electronics while the nromal car battery is left charged

Bingo.

A lot of shows are doing this now from what I've read/heard lately.

You simply hook up to an A/C source and instantly look like the King of Bling all night.
