LP E17 charging options

Planning a short trip to a somewhat remote area and was looking for some kind of options to make sure that I don't run out of batteries. Is there a car charger that will charge  the LP E17?  Or a way of powering the camera with an external source such as a power bank or something similar? Any suggestion appreciated, except go buy more batteries.

Must have overlooked the Manfrotto Pro Cube. Ill take another look. Still weighing my options since I have a couple of months. Thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions. I overlooked a lot of stuff not knowing what I was looking at. After looking at all the options I think I'm going to go with an inverter for the versatility over just being a charger. Thanks again to all.

I bought two spare LP E17 batteries on sale from B & H Photo last year. I just make sure they're charged up before I leave the house for a trip. I've never had to switch batteries while on a trip. My SL2 gets several hundred shots (650) on a fully charged battery.

I would , and have done so for years, buy several batteries and forget the charger. I have and carry four Canon batteries for my 1DX.  Easily does a weeks worth or more of work.

 

I do take my charger along so if or when we get to the motel or stopping place of some kind that has power, I can top off the batteries if need be.
