This is only possible if they already planned to do it from the outset.  Battery would be low voltage (12-20v) but current Play 1 takes high voltage (110/240).  There would have to be some internal switching already in place to bypass the transformer

There is the quoted early post in this thread as well, which says the same thing. The original design choice for the power supply dictates that a third party will not be able to address this issue in the absence of a cheap and compact battery set up that can deliver the required minimum of 110 V AC to the unit while fitting in a base platform that can host the 1 unit. And this kind of battery probably doesn't exist yet.

I should have read the entire thread first!
