Well it would work just like the battery would.
It would act as a 12 volt source until it drained. Not ideal in the least since the system is used to a regulated ~13.5 volts but it would keep the engine running.
Now the jumper pack will likely not even have half the reserve time of a normal car battery so it sure won't last long.
They are a nice tool but I wouldn't carry one around with me just to carry it. Hell why would I want another 40lb battery adding more dead weight.
Now to take with you on a trip is a perfect example of an ideal time. (along with that old serpentine belt you replaced, hand tools, and et cetera
)
