I have one from what used to be "Western Auto" forgot what they call
themselves now.  Not a bad battery but the last time the starting battery
subject was discussed here I think  most folks recommended "Interstate"
batteries.

Subject: Sears battery for Vanagon

My Vanagon battery is kaput.
Two deep discharges within a coupole of months destroyed it (1. theft
alarm failed to cut out, 2.  parking lights left on).
Interestingly, my Toyota battery which I attempted to jump start it with
was *just* able to turn over the starter but not start the beast.
I called my local Sears whose batteries I always use - answer "No
battery listed for Vanagon".
Question: Where do I get a battery for a Vanagon? (other than the
dealer)
