Car Charger
Purchase a power inverter for your car. It can be purchased from radio shack, walmart, or just about any store with an automotive section. It just plugs into the lighter outlet. If power is out for a few days, it can be charged from the inverter, assuming you can run your car for a few hours to do the charging.
