But any idea will be useful

Best bet would be to have an electrician come and bury
a line directly to your shed.
A car battery would only be able to power a couple of
car head lights for a few hours.
You could run an extension cord out, but you need a GFI
/ground fault interrupter/ outlet on the house to plug it into.
This will help prevent electrocution if anything gets wet,
like morning dew or rain.

Here is a link explaining how a GFI works:
