They have an integrated set of "jumper cables" for connecting to a car battery, usually some kind of light and one or two cigarette lighter sockets that you can plug adaptors into. They have their own recharger so you can plug it into a wall outlet to keep charged. They have enough capacity to "jump start" an automobile or lawn tractor which is what they were originally designed for, but the lighter sockets provide an easy means to use as an extra capacity battery for your powerbook.
