How big of a battery will I need?
The week the Beta starts, I'm driving to Boston. I don't want to miss out, so I plan on playing my PS4 in the car while we drive.
My car won't support a PS4's power needs for more than 10 minutes. If the drive is say, 8 hours, what size battery would I need to sufficiently sustain online play for that amount of time? Price isn't an issue.
If you could recommend a wifi USB for the drive, that would helpful as well.

That would be 1096 watts over 8 hours. DC to AC converters are under 100$, so you could get that. For wifi, If you have an iPhone, you can jailbreak it and get an app to share the 3g/4g connection with a laptop(that has an 8 hour battery) via the charger, and connect the laptop to the PS4 with an Ethernet cable. It would be technically possible, but would most likely require a van for a battery that big, and would be expensive and time consuming to set up(as in $1000+, and at least an hour), not to mention you would have a huge data usage bill on your phone. I have looked into this before, lol. Edit: You would need a bigger battery to power the screen.
