Hi,
Yes, this would definitely work. But, is is essentially a rechargeable booster battery - a starting aid. Nothing wrong with that, but you'd still require a battery maintainer to properly condition your car battery and keep it on
Float for extended periods of non-use, and this will be about the same money.
Your choice of course, but rigging a battery jumper as I mentioned should cost under $10, leaving you with more $$ to then acquire a maintainer. But, as I said your choice, you may find this alternative easier...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
