Doesn't the notebook computer come with batteries? The first option
would be to obtain extra batteries for it, and charge them when you
are within plugging distance of a wall socket.
Or do you want to run your laptop 24/7 on batteries? In that case,
get a car battery and an inverter big enough to produce whatever
power (plus some to be safe) your laptop's power supply is rated for.
Then you would need 2 car batteries and a charger to charge one while
running the laptop off the other.
