Or am I going to release the ghost on something?
Plenty of people do this, they would either use a car battery or use old packs to power their chargers at a tracks with no power.

that is a pretty big jump pack you have with around 10kWh of power. to charge your packs it uses around 100W at most, so TECHNICALLY it could charge it 100 times. But calculating for losses and inefficiencies Im sure it could charge it at least 50 times...but who runs 50 packs at the track anyways.
