Using 12 volt inverter to charge battery

Hello. Just picked up a Cube Stereo Hybrid with a Bosch CX/500.
I love it! It opens up an old world of riding that I gave up on because of age and lack of exercise.

My question is; Since extra batteries are stupidly expensive, I am considering other options for charging the on bike battery.
I know I can hook up a 12dv-220av inverter to my car, but looking for something portable. I have an old lead acid battery jump starter that I would take camping it weighs about 12 kgs and not very rider friendly. It would charge cell phones, air pumps and jump start a number of vehicles for several days.
Now, they have come out with the Li Ion jump starters that weigh much less and are much smaller. https://www.aboxtek.com/products/abo...w-jump-starter
Has anyone tried this method? I am looking at a a 18000 mAh battery, with a 300 watt inverter, (charger is 2 A) I believe it will work, but have no idea how much charge it will give my bike. (1 hour, 2, 3 charging?)
Tried google with very little results
I appreciate any assistance for this

Cheers
