Ok. Looking for a keyboard amp with the following features.
Portable
Uses batteries
Mic input
Bass thump
Fairly cheap
AUX input

Just something that I can connect to my Micro Cube, that has a mic input, and a bass thump capability.

I'd look at the portable Yamaha keyboards, they have always had the best sound for the small keyboard market. IMO

Keyboard amps, you mean? That's what I need.

its not clear what you need, the title said you need and amp but the opening text talks about a keyboard, but with a mic input? and able to plug into your microcube that has a mic imput... a little confusing to us who would like to help...

Sorry. Typo.
Fixed. Portable keyboard amp with those features. Better?
Fixed it. Sorry. It should also run on batteries.

You mentioned having a Micro Cube already, the Cube amps are great. Do any of the Cube amps run on battery?

You are listing a lot of needs for a amp, one that can run on batteries and is cheap. Most often all those requirements won't come together. And most times if it's cheap, it's not worth having or won't work for long.

Pignose amps run on battery and sound great, but limited on inputs and doesn't have Bass thump. Good luck in your quest.

My Cube does run on batteries, I just need a speaker. Would a portable PA work?

making a guess you are looking for something like Kustom PA PA40 battery powered speaker, 2 channel inputs: Line and Mic/Line and a 3rd input via Bluetooth, battery powered, but may not quite have the "bass thump" depending on your expectations....

Ran across this yesterday, might do for what you want. May need a pedal to further meet your needs.

That's kinda neat... But cheaper to just buy a used Crate GX15 - GX20 or no name amp. and hack that into what you want. Bet it would run with a hacked 6xAA battery pack just fine though. Way more mAh that way.

Roland Street Cube EX - it is expensive but excellent. For the features you want it won't be cheap. Bass thump means a big speaker, more power, more sophisticated circuitry and speakers. I've got one and can recommend it. I tried the Street Cube - it's only a small step up form the Microcube in terms of performance, but the EX has 50 watts and isn't too bad on batteries. I've done a full gig (outdoors in a beer garden) using  just one Streetcube EX for vocals and guitar and it coped admirably. I also use it at festivals (including Glastonbury) for demoing guitars, and asa monitor for my regular PA system.  Downsides are that it doesn't have as many COSM guitar sounds and effects as the regular MicroCube, and it is pricey. Plus points - light, loud and sounds good.

I've been eyeing those for a while, but as you said, they're expensive. About $500. For now, I'm just gonna get a portable PA.
