In fact, now that I think about it you could probably cut out the middleman and do something like plugging in a European 12VDC car charger and then hooking a US inverter up to it so you wouldn't be reliant on the battery.

I've heard of using US 60 hertz battery powerbanks for using 60hz stuff but I don't know how long that would power a teletype.
Something like this, charge it with DC then use it for AC.

Hi All,

We in the 50Hz 240V world have a problem with machines fitted with 60Hz synchronous motors. Machines originally used here are fitted with governed 110V motors but I have acquired two with 60Hz sync motors. The 240/110V problem is easily fixed with a transformer. But.
Has anyone experience with using Variable Speed Drive Units, 240V drives are readily available but would have to power the motor via a transformer. 
Any suggestions.

Thanks.

Kind regards,
