A lot of people are installing inverters - that charge batteries, and provide output for a few lights etc. Should work for laptop. 4-6 hours.
Check with Kenital, Chloride etc

Subject: [Skunkworks] Power Alernatives
With the current power rationing, what power options are there for someone working from home ( to power a laptop). apart from a generator ?
For instance is there a DC to AC convertor that can be linked to a car battery ?
Speaking of which I do suspect that as of today someone somewhere has a container full of generators docking at the Mombasa Port.
