Im currently trying to build a battery powered portable pc but i know ill need the cables from the psu to power the components so im thinking of using the psu like a power hub. The thing im having trouble with is finding a good battery, charger for it and a way of plugging the battery into the psu which i was thinking of getting a mini power strip and plugging the psu into that. I need about 400 watts all up. any ideas?

You better off with building a normal PC and bring an Uninterruptible Power Supply, or battery generators with a wall plug.

A laptop would make things a lot easier. It's exactly what laptops are for. Is there a reason you don't want to use a laptop?

Heres one that can reportedly output 400 watts for over an hour.

https://www.apc.com/shop/us/en/products/APC-Smart-UPS-X-3000VA-Rack-Tower-LCD-100-127V/P-SMX3000RMLV2U

For $1800. And it weighs 100 pounds, probably more than any desktop computer, so you'll get a good workout in.

You can search for any of their UPSs by battery size and wattage here

Car battery and something like that

The bigger battery the longer it will work. Regular battery is around 15 - 25 kg
