12V car jump start battery packs have been around a while. It turns out that there are 24V versions as well. In some of the locations I fly to, ground power is not available so I've been thinking about other options.
The below looks like an interesting option for my 24V 182:
It can be easily charged anywhere (which is not true of an aircraft battery) and is pretty portable. It' would not be a problem to carry this in the aircraft on my more remote trips.
One could connect it directly to the battery, which sits behind the rear baggage compartment and is quite easy to access, or one could connect it through the ground power connection using something like this: https://www.aircraftspruce.com.au/catalog/elpages/plugnjump.php
I can't think of any particular arguments against this. What think the assembled masses?
