Default Jumper pack as temporary power supply for dual-bander?


I have one of those portable power packs that can jump start a car or
run 12V accessories, and an extra dual-bander that draws about 8A on
max power transmit that I would like to use in the house from time to
time. Has anyone tried using one of these packs as a power supply?
It has a built-in charging circuit, and according to at least one tech
support guy, shouldn't have any problem with running a 10A or so load
while plugged in to AC, but I'm wondering if there are possibly other
concerns with this arrangement.
