    Battery for portable console gaming?

    Is there any batteries I could get to power an Xbox for a trip? Thanks.

    You need a power inverter. They convert DC power to AC power, so you can plug it into your car lighter and plug in your xbox. They can be bought mostly anywhere like Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot, etc.

                Actually, I was wondering if I could use a UPS instead of the lighter, cause the lighter would already be busy with a charger for a cell phone.

                      UPS would die quickly, you might get to boot up, load your game and start whatever you are playing before the UPS crapped out.... that is unless you want to spend 5k or more on a damn good UPS.

                      Just get a Y adapter for your cig lighter.

                            So the only plausible solution is the Y adapter for the cigarette lighter?
