The Integra Pro plus monolights have a 6 stop range, so they will step down to 17 w/s. That should give you plenty of flexibility to set just about whatever f-stop you want.

The Hensel monolights, like most monolights, are AC-only. If you want to run them off of a battery, you could purchase something like a 1500 W pure sine wave inverter and connect it to a car battery. Or you could take a look at the Dynalite XP1100 power inverter that I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread. It will power up to 1000 w/s of strobes for ~200 full power flashes, so you could run (2) 500 w/s monolights off of it.
