Can this be used to jump start a car without being connected to a 110 volt outlet? In a parking lot for example.

The NOCO # 329-GENIUS10 is a battery charger only, it wouldn't work unless plugged into a 110V AC outlet.

To jump start a dead car battery, you'll need a jump box with an on-board battery. I'd recommend the NOCO Boost X Jump Starter, part # NOC48VR. The box can provide multiple jump starts off a single charge. It works great on vehicles with gas engines up to 6.5L and Diesel engines up to 4.0L. The box has USB ports that can be used to charge your phone, laptop, tablets and other electronics.

I'll link to a demonstration video showing how the # NOC48VR Jump Box works.
