I also keep a small, portable air compressor and extra fuses in the car too.

I have a Duracell jump starter and use it often. One of my cars battery jeeps draining every week if I don’t use it so I keep it in that car cause you never know. I believe my drain is due to my headlights so ai will be fixing that this winter.

Re: does anyone keep a jump starter in their vehicle(s)?
I bought one back when this thread came up and this returning to the top reminded me to check the battery level in it as it's useless if not charged. The battery went from 100% to 97% in the time it's been in my trunk, not bad at all. I guess I can wait another few months before checking again.

you should be good for at least 3 months (if not in use) before having to charge it again. you already know but keeping it at the battery level suggested in the manual is best. if mine gets into the 80 percentage range I charge mine. it's normal for it to slowly discharge over time...

I have a recurring reminder on my phone to top mine off every 3 months. I've used it once and had charged it back up on the day I needed it. Then I charged it again after I used it. It actually took longer to charge it from being in my car for a few months than it did from using it.
