No. You are confusing power packs with batteries.
Pack & head style lights, use a 'power pack'. The controls are on the pack and you just plug the heads (lights) into the pack. (like the Speedotron) Some of these might be battery powered, thus allowing remote operation, but they typically need to be plugged in.
Monolights (like the D-lites) have all the electronics and controls in one unit with the light. It just needs to be plugged into a power source (AC power or a batter) but not into a 'power pack'.
So basically the D-Lite can only be used with power outlets.
So I will need something that works with power packs.
I am a bit confused at this time... but i learned a lot. Hopefully i will come up with a solution by the end of this month. Until now i will either buy alienbees or i have to spend more money on something else. And since i am not settled on the alienbees due to the fact that will be a lot of trouble with the warranty i guess i'll have to get more money for something else.
LATER EDIT:
Also there are systems that work with power packs and power outlets right?
