Can you give an example of one? It blows my mind that this is possible - I mean not the technology exactly, that makes sense, but just that something reasonably portable that I would carry around in case my phone dies can also have the level of utility of jumping my vehicle in a pinch.

The future is pretty cool.

I’ve used some of the NoCo ones for years and happy with them. The Drive has conveniently listed the Black Friday deals!

The battery packs for jumping cars (at least the ones I've seen) are generally more of a size appropriate for putting in a trunk than a backpack or pocket.

I had one a while ago when road tripping in the US, served me a few times, it won't fit in your average jeans pocket but it easily fits in a jacket, you could fit 20+ in your glovebox

They put mini jumper cable connectors on the pocket-sized ones now.

I've had one for each car since ~2017. I have a portable air compressor that goes with us on camping trips, too. Highly recommended.
