Heck, my wife made fun of me when I bought one for her car a few years ago. She sort of patiently watched me show her how to use it before I put it in her trunk. A few months later she had a dead battery when she was out and about. AAA said they could be there in 45 minutes. Thankfully she remembered how to use it (it's easy) and was back on the road in minutes. She has sung it's praises ever since.

One really bad thing is the USB-C is only for input charging, the output is just USB-A output. That's a pretty big con considering you're much more likely to use it for charging than car jumping most of the time.
I bought s 10800 mAh one from Amazon 4 years ago for $30 that still works well and has USBC in/out, some no name urlhasbeenblocked brand, can't find it on Amazon anymore but can see other ones from urlhasbeenblocked on there.

Look at this one on Walmart, it even has an A/C port 100W inverter built in! You could use it to power a tire inflator, cellphone, portable fridge etc. for $59. That's definitely worth the extra $19 cost.

I've seen some around 50,000, more expensive of course, floating around. But they have the ability to charge cars, multiple phone, and laptops for days.

I have one of those old school huge battery jumpstarter things I bought close to 10 years ago at a pepboys, maybe it's time to switch to something smaller like this.
I have it charged before annual travel to family for Thanksgiving then leave it under driver's side seat.
if never used by next thanksgiving, it's down to 1 bar.
(I live near DC and winters are below 32F.)
if i do use it, then i usually charge it immediately when i reach my destination, if possible.
(altho I have done 2 jumps for my v4 car because i forgot.)
Mine's a RavPower 400A 10k mAh for $19 from amazon a few yeas ago.)
even tho the one in the op is from costco and you have peace of mind that you can return it anytime if it fails, having the clips break when you need to jump makes me want to skip this.
