So, it would work, it would only take a hundred times as long. My family had a thirty-minute conference call during my lunch break, which I can summarize in two sentences. If I can give enough information in eighteen seconds, is that 100 times as good as taking half an hour?

The thing muddying your example is the link was to a device that doesn't have a cigarette lighter adapter. It only has alligator clips to attach to the existing car battery.
The description was inaccurate too:
Amp hour is a measure of total electric flow. They meant to say 1000 A, which is a rate of electric flow. It's like the difference between measuring the rate of water flowing out of a faucet, and measuring the total volume of water collected in a bucket. If that battery had a 1000 Ah capacity, it would be far more energy dense than any other battery.
