NOCO Jump Starter Deconstructed (1 Viewer)

I think what I would like is a unit that has a battery with external connections like one of these:
SeaSense Battery Box Power Station

with a connection to be able to leave it hooked up to the vehicle charging system all the time to maintain a charge and be able to quickly grab it to use away from the vehicle.

I guess I am describing a dual battery system but with the battery in a box that can be removed...

Ok... maybe that is really the best way to deal with this. It'll be larger than one of these Noco style things but will offer a wider range of functionality. I'm thinking a golf cart (small size) battery rather than a (heavy) full size battery.

Interesting info here. Correct me if I am wrong but watching the video I don't see any real electronic "safeguards" in the jump packs that could prevent damaging the vehicles electronics. I have heard of people using drill batteries as well to start their car in a pinch.

It's no more dangerous than using jumper cables. You mustn't allow the vehicle's alternator to charge the lithium battery but that just means you need to unplug it after the car starts.

Although you can DIY for a lot cheaper.
