mitiempo will become famous soon enough
To create a 2 battery bank (with 12 volt batteries) you would parallel it with the existing battery. It is best not to combine a new battery with an old one though as there is a mismatch and the old will drag the new one down.
It might be a better idea to get a 12 volt adaptor for the computer as it is more efficient.
