Unfortunately my garage doesn't have power (it's a rented lockup) and I'm going to be away for a while. I have a CTEK MXS 5.0 and was wondering - is it possible to connect it to a jump pack with a 3 pin input? Something like this Streetwize SWPP5.

And if that's feasible, does anyone have recommendations for a decent jump pack?

Yes disconnecting the battery or removing it and charging it at home would be the obvious solution. But then the alarm won't work and I've experienced an attempted break in to the garage recently so not sure I'd want to do that!

Also attaching the battery directly to the jump pack wouldn't be a good idea because of the risk of overcharging?
