When yr battery internal issue etc charger won't be much help.
Correct and that is when the battery starts its degradation process and it is pointless using a charger by then. The idea of an external charger is to keep a battery in a continously in a high SoC & SoH before it starts degrading.
powerbank can last quite some time.. you can see this local review, he kept about month plus before officially use it
personal experience, I once kept the PB for 2 months before start using it again and somehow it still maintain the same charge and able to jumpstart my car.
