Unless, you're into the Batteryless Super Capacitor type jump starters. That's a different animal but might be worth considering if you are concerned about carrying around a Lithium Battery pack in your car on a hot day (they've been known to explode and cause fires on occasion). The Super Capacitor type jump starter avoids the risk. And you don't need to pre-charge them, either.
I also have the previous generation model. I needed it yesterday to jump a dead battery and it failed as well. I had to jump it with a second car and regular jumper cables. I won't get another Anker for this purpose.

Which jump starter are you asking about? The AutoGen, or the Super Capacitor type?
If you're asking about the AutoGen, then yes, you can charge it at home (AC adapter is included with the kit) and it's ready to go anytime. It also comes with a cigarette lighter plug that you can use to charge it up, or to keep it charged. It should keep a charge for at least 6 months or so, maybe even up to a year or more. But keep in mind, as with any/all jump starters with a lithium battery, there is a small risk of explosion or fire in a hot car left out in the summer heat. Also, these type of batteries are far less efficient in very cold weather also. For that reason, the super cap type are more reliable, however, you have to have enough juice in the car battery you want to jump in order to charge up the caps. Otherwise, you can use another car's battery to get a charge into the caps (or use the cigarette lighter plug that comes with it, which is easier), then hook it up to the car you want to jump. Generally the super cap type starter will get a full charge and ready to go in about 3 minutes or less. If you have any more questions, just ask. I'll be glad to share what I know about these (did a lot of research).
I also bought the Super Cap Jump Starter from TSRER. but at the moment they're sold out on Amazon. Here's a link to this starter:

There are other super cap starters available however:

https://www.amazon.com/autowit-Po...B01MYFCWV4 (this one has an extra 15% off at the moment, so probably would be a very good buy at the discounted price of $110.50)
Then get this one. It's the best one on the market.
