The wattage ratings on the adapters shouldn't have to do with anything. A laptop that needs only 60w isn't going to suddenly explode if an adapter rated at 120w is plugged into it, it will just consume the 60 watts.

There are already external batteries designed to be used with PCs. And they are pretty pricy too.
