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.

A 10 minute charge will NOT give a full charge. It would take a 90 amp
charge rate to fully charge a dead 15Ah battery pack in 10 minutes. So
half charges would still take 45 amps.
