You missed my point the dealer has charged it however many storage locations we will use do not have power available and frankly for the generator to charge the batts would take quite a while.

After posting this I read in the reviews of the above jump starter where it was used to power the hydraulics of a dump trailer that had a dead battery and it worked flawlessly.

So it obviously does have the amps to provide some continuous power... the question is it enough for slides and jacks.

The battery pack is basically two small batteries both 12v 22AH (44 combined).

My guess is the slides and jacks do not require high cranking amps which should make the jump starter last longer, question being can a Heavy duty jump starter handle 5 slides and 6 jacks...
