Maybe, that's 150w peak power, not good for much.
You can get a 12v deep cycle battery, 100Ah for $175 at Wally's and a $30 trickle charger, then recharge it in the car on the way to work.
If you have cordless tools you can get a USB adapter.
Ghung told me once to make everything one battery size. I have a buttload of AAs that run all sorts of stuff. But also lots of ways to get between a/c & d/c, from AA to 12v to 18v (dewalt) to 120v, USB chargers blah.
Simplest solution are these solar path lights for $40
