I have a lamp cord with a lighter plug on each end. One goes into the
vehicle, other one to the jump pack. By the time I get home from some where,
the jumper pack is recharged.

If you don't need to haul it around, trolling bateries are far better amps
for the bucks.

A normal "jump start
battery is 12 to 22 AH. When it's dead, you are out of power unless
you have a generator to recharge it.
A pair of 6 volt golf cart batteries (GC2H) is about 225 AH - an
average trolling motoer battery somewhere around 100AH.. That is
1.2kwh - equivalent to running the 1000 watt Honda for 1.2 hours.

The generator is a lot more flexible - particularly the inverter type
"E" series Hondas which throttle to provide only the amount of power
being drawn - unlike a normal AC generator that needs to run at a
fixed speed regardless of load.
Just make sure you have gasoline available, or it is as useless as a
dead battery.
