Dean,
Most of the notebooks I have seen provide upwards of 19-20V from their AC
adapters. Thus to use a car battery would require some sort of inverter.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Auxiliary Power for Notebook
I am considering purchasing a higher-end notebook computer.
Two of the applications that I may use it for are digital imaging on and
control of my telescope in a remote area.
I would like to know if notebooks, for the most part, all use twelve volt
input. (A transformer plugged into the wall and twelve volts dc entering
the computer.)
If this is the case, then I could use the same automobile battery that I use
to power the telescope to also power the notebook.
Is this likely to be possible, or do most notebooks use their own unique
voltages? Which brands, if any, are likely to use twelve (or six or
eighteen) volts?
TIA,
Dean Kukral
