Default Charging a portable battery pack

That reminds me, mine needs charging. I usually
use the provided charge plug. As you write, not
an option. I've also used a cord with a lighter
plug on each end. Put the jump pack in the car,
plug into the lighter socket, charge on the way
to and from the store.

Of the options you give, the lowest amp charger
is the one I'd use. Figure for about how long you
guess, based on the pack being charged (guess
how charged it is).

Other option is to clamp onto the battery of a
car that runs, start engine, and idle for 10 minutes.

I have a portable battery pack that uses a 15V DC
pod to charge it. That pod is currently about 300
miles from where the battery pack is.

Can I use my car battery charger by hooking it up
to the clamps on the battery pack?

If so, I have these specs and these choices. Which
should I use?

Battery Pack: 12V/15A

Charger Choices:
6 Amp, Fast Charge, Automotive/Light Truck
4 Amp, Medium Charge, Automotive
2 Amp, Trickle Charge, Lawn Tractor/Motorcycle/ATV

Thanks!
