Battery jump packs hold their charge pretty darn well. Another option is Emergency starter batteries. These are a sealed system that will sit in your trunk for up to 10 years. When the car is dead a adapter allows the unit to be hooked up to the power outlet in the car.

I just heard about this today. A caller on my radio show told me about it. Will have to research that. Makes sense and is more compact and less weight that a jump pack. A one time use item. Jump Packs last much longer.
