My Yarises are parked in the over flow parking lot at the pre-manafactured modular home park where I live. I do not have a place to plug in a manual charger. The loop around the park is only 2 vehicles wide. Unless you are a contractor making home repairs, parking in the street for more than 10 minutes is against park rules. That is why I bought the portable rechargable battery powered jump starter. My guess is that a battery powered jump starter can act as a charger if left on long enough. The idea of staying in the car for a few hours to see how long it takes the battery powered jump starter recharge the battery is the real problem. It would be easier and faster to start or jump start the car and run the motor for a 1/2 hour each day. The problem is the lack of space to put the battery powered jump starter so that the hood can be completely closed.

The jump starter won't charge your battery much.
