That being said, I matured from battery packs like this, to more expensive super capacitor packs. The super cap packs, extremely reliable and pretty much last a lifetime, work in any temperature for the most part, and require ZERO maintenance or charging so they are always ready to go. Yes it will cost you 3X this cost, but the way I justified it, most of the normal battery packs you will be lucky to get more than two years out of them if you keep it in your trunk and live in an area where temperature extremes happen like in Chicago. So when you add the cost of replacing the pack every few years you quickly come up ahead.
So yes, good price, great to always have for emergencies, but there are better more reliable options.

There are many other options but none that I will recommend as I have not done research on recently. I will post some other options that might or might not work well, so do your own research on them.

I would bet very few people who own battery packs, keep them on a regular charging schedule, so when time comes to use it, its dead or nearly dead and useless.

The battery features and being able to run 12v stuff without grid access is really nice. I've taken my pellet grill places and cooked a ton of pork belly burnt ends for events with success, charged phones/tablets, run lights, etc. with a battery. Those kinds of use cases do come up more often than needing a jumpstart in my world and Super Caps can't do that.
The Caps are better as a pure jumpstarter. Thats one you want to keep in the car. So long as 1 person has it with them, you can get an emergency jump in a reasonable amount of time if the two cars aren't too far apart. Keep the battery one inside during the cold to preserve its life. It'll probably be due for a charge before and after the cold season.

Be sure to read all the negative as well as positive reviews on these supercap units. They aren't all they're cracked up to be. In my case, it was useless. Fortunately, I had a "standard" Lithium Jump Starter with me, and I hooked it up and the car started immediately. Due to that experience, I personally wouldn't recommend on as your primary solution, but maybe as a backup that "might" work in some instances. YMMV, but I thought I'd share my own experience with everyone. Your experience my differ from mine.
