If I want to take one of my laptops or other stuff that consumes power on a trip, the only source of power generally available is my car battery. Or wall sockets, of course. But the only way to power random stuff for extended periods out in the country seems to be taking lots and lots of all kinds of spare batteries with you.
Ok, I can make things more universal by taking a single, large 12 V battery with me, and lots of converters / transformers, to 230 V AC as well. Which doubles the losses. Which seems to be a waste and not save me much in terms of space and/or running time. And while it does allow me to only use the stuff I want to use, it still limits the time seriously.
Isn't there something better, like a fuel cell, that I can resupply with a can of fuel? Essentially extending the running time to the amount of fuel I take with me? And small and light, if possible.
