Just to be pedantic Sliv,

While these 12V jumpstart batteries are capable of supplying 900amp to start a car, they are only a 7 or 12amp/hr battery inside the box. This will power a mount for a 10-20hrs, but don't expect them to power anything like dew heaters, cameras or a laptop.

A 900amp/hr 12volt battery would be >250kg.
