This is a video that a local powersport distributor put together about 2 years back, to demonstrate a lithium booster pack:

Don't know if they still sell that brand, but gives you and idea of what these packs can do.
Booster cables alone are dangerous enough, we all should really be wearing safety glasses every time we boost anything. Buddy of mine worked with a mechanic who had is face severely damaged - went to pull a starting battery out of a car trunk (OE location) and it blew up - turns out it wasn't vented properly, one spark was all it took.
Lithium packs are more expensive, but have similar advantages in battery boosters as with cell phones. I'd be reading a lot of reviews on a particular brand before spending the money on a lithium pack, you don't want a cheap knock-off.
Older AGM packs are cheaper, bulkier, and can work fine if you are somebody who remembers to re-charge them on a regular basis. A friend has had good luck with Stanley AGM packs with his service trucks. Dewalt makes a good pack, but is more money still, and bigger than most people want/need in a car.
Many packs now will have USB power built-in, I'd want that too on a new pack.
