A single pack of the size that he's looking at will not be able to handle 21 amps, nor will the wiring to the lighter plug (fused at 7.5 amps on most cars) but it might be enough for day time driving and the alternator is still going to be hooked up so when the batteries die or an over current protection kicks in the driver will most likely never notice a change.
