clore JNC 105 battery replacement

[stingray1966]

I have a JNC air jumpstarted that the battery is starting to go
I have looked on line and the price for the clore performer is 135 Bucks
are they kidding also see there is a lot of replacement battery for the jnc that are not Clore performer battery Its my understanding that the core battery is the best
but the price of them its cheeper just to get a new unit The battery I am looking for is a JNC 105 The best price i found so far was 93 bucks
are the after market battery any good or a waste of money

The simple fact is that there isn't that much more in one of those boxes than the battery, $3 of jumper cables and a charging circuit of about $5, Blow mold plastic case is another half dollar.

Nothing special about that battery. Most of the replacements offered are the exact same battery without the Clore label.

It's been a while since I purchased a Jump-N-Carry unit but they used to have a refurbishing service for something like 50 bucks. You could literally send them your old unit in pieces and they'd send you a new/refurbished one. Might want to check into that. I have JNC units that are more than 10 years old that are still going. They only real problem I ever had is that I bought a few with the built in air compressor. Those compressors crapped out pretty quickly. Other than that, I feel they are the best "Jump Box" out there.

I also have a JNC Air. I ended up buying an equivalent battery on Amazon for around $50. I have used it once to jump a car and it worked fine.
I also changed the tire chuck to a lever style clip-on type. Their screw-on was a PITA.
The Clore battery is supposedly a high-current design, hence the high price.
