I carry a NOCO in both my truck and Jeep. They have started several cars and usually show a full charge after.
The Canadian Tire Ultra XD series (it might only be the XD series) is a Northstar battery with a different sticker if I recall correctly.
Note they look exactly the same and have the exact same amperage ratings:

Starting to get the dreaded slow crank, and the date sticker on top of the Walmart battery is 3/18, so I'm in the market. As per usual, I have now read 3,248 posts on TJ batteries here, including the various recs for AGM vs old-style, Oydessy or Northstar vs everyone else, and Group 34 vs Group 24.
Right now, since I'm a Costco member, I'm 95% ready to pull the trigger on an Interstate AGM in Group 24 size. Unless someone wants to post how their TJ burst into flames or suddenly began experiencing death wobble after installing one!

Both of mine have started several vehicles. Four in a year sounds like a huge exaggeration. IMOIMO, NOCO are the biggest POS on the market. I went thru four NOCO's in less than a year. Almost every one of my work colleges that owned one has also had issues.

My NOCO has worked well several times.IMO, NOCO are the biggest POS on the market. I went thru four NOCO's in less than a year. Almost every one of my work colleges that owned one has also had issues.
I was not going to comment but since you brought it up. I have used refurbished battery's for maybe 15 to 20 years. Of the many that I have purchased the shortest like I experienced was 5 years old. I still have 4 that are 8 to 10 years old. When not being driven they are on Harbor Fright battery tenders. I myself have a hard time believing this could be true. I have told many car friends about them and no one believes it. I told some that if they get one and it doesn't last 5 years I will pay for it. They only cost $35.00. New battery's in Arizona only last 2 years and if lucky 3.Honestly I don’t follow what many say at all. I just buy a refurbished car battery where I live for $65 and it lasts me 5 years. Not one single problem starting in hot weather, cold weather, and not battery failures or loosing charge. Never had a problem when on the trails also. Bring the one in after 5 years, get $10 core for it, and buy another $65 battery for another 5 years
