My old 3-in-1 Jump Starter and Power Supply unit, similar to the Centech , spec copied:
•Up to 20 hours of 12 volt power on a single charge
•Heavy duty 4 AWG booster cables with copper coated steel clamps
•Maintenance-free 17 Ah sealed lead-acid battery
•Built-in 3.6 watt work light
•12VDC outlet
Battery capacity 17 Ah
Battery type Lead acid
Starting current (amps)360 cold cranking amps

gave up after abt 10 years of use for various applications such as testing electrics outside the car, powering tire compressor etc.

Instead of buying a cpl. new pack I found on the net locally a fitting sealed lead acid battery 6-FM-17 12V17aH for < half the price of a cpl. pack, easy to replace, just remove the plastic rear cover and the battery can be removed.
