The correct battery for the Vanagon is a group 41. Don't know why but 42
is smaller.

Subject: Re: Battery Sources Best Price?

Battey sales are pretty competive from one store to the other.
I would just get the most cold cranking amps and the longest life
warranty you can afford.
- plus needs to be right physical size, terminal location, and hold down
system - group 42 I think it is;

they range from $ 29.94 to $  90.95.  You get what you pay for I believe.
I'd look for a good 59 dollar one.
