There's a few ways to do it. Amazon sells some battery holders for cheap that run off of AA batteries (8 of them to be exact) so you don't have to be tied to an outlet at all times. There are some sealed rechargeable power adapters (6000mah units) that I'll likely end up using. If you use the AA way you can get rechargeable batteries if that floats your boat.

There's also a $15 off of $75 through eBay right now (code PSAVE15TODAY). You might find some other adapters or strip light solutions there.
My first GitD case was battery powered:

Looks like it uses a 2.1mm barrel plug (but I can’t be sure from that product listing, there’s a chance it’s a less common 2.5mm barrel plug).
If so you can easily use any 12v battery pack with a 2.1mm connector. Here’s one that uses AA batteries.
Alternatively you can use a rechargeable one with a 2.1mm male to male cable.
