Default Battery Jump Pack Recomendations

After dealing with another dead battery this morning, I'm thinking of picking up a jump pack. (JK battery is fine, the Mrs. car was dead again this morning, which leaves me stranded for the day. I think she's doing it on purpose so she can take the Jeep to work ) I want something portable that can be taken along on a road trip. Perhaps multi-funtional such as an air compressor, outlets for chargers, etc. Looking to spend under $100. Any recomendatons on what to get?

I bought one from Costco for $69. It works great! Jumpstart, compressor(but it takes FOREVER to air up 35's), work light, and plugs to charge a cell phone etc. I used it to jump a full size Chevy truck no problem. Don't know if you have Costco out by you but you can get it online.

HAD the Sears version very similar to costco described above. inverter, compressor light 12V ciggy plugs etc.... I kept it plugged in pretty religiously so it woud be ready. After 2 years of not using it much, it was a paperweight. Also has some safety in it that prevented me from using it on a trolling motor which really disappointed me.

Here's a link to it. Looks like Costco doesn't sell it anymore.
