I don't have one of these jump starters, but as a related bit of product info... I have a couple of AGM batteries in my traxxide dual batt setup and my LR4 sits a lot in the garage. I do a lot of short trips or I drive for 3+ hours at a time for work. So that approx 160 amp hours of battery capacity, plus that fact that the alternator is a bit conservative about charging... they don't stay fully charged up.
I never have issues starting, it starts way better with both batteries than before, but just for battery health and keeping them from getting sulfated and loosing capacity, I researched some battery chargers. I found some good info on expo portal.
I bought a $115 CTEX Multi US 7002 Amazon.com: CTEK (56-353) MULTI US 7002 12-Volt Battery Charger: Automotive@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41jilRA8mDL.@@AMEPARAM@@41jilRA8mDL If you don't have dual batteries with a lot of extra capacity, the CTEK Multi US 3300 would work fine for $60
I also bought the extension cable and have the end sticking out the front of my grill. I can just plug it in in the garage. I carry standard jump cables with me, but mostly to help other people.
So... battery health ftw!
