Depending on what voltage battery you have I suggest getting a linear voltage regulator. You should not hook the power cable from the kinect directly to the battery, you will get variations in voltage which will break your kinect. This tutorial will show you how to wire up a voltage regulator for a kinect, make sure to buy a voltage regulator that will down convert from you battery voltage, and then connect the power side pigtail to you battery: http://www.ros.org/wiki/kinect/Tutorials/Adding%20a%20Kinect%20to%20an%20iRobot%20Create.
