Dear Holy Battery
Replace it ...
100$ at any store that sells batteries will get you an excellent battery
with ample cranking power unless you live in a place where the temp is often
below -40

Lets pretend you fix the battery with some sort of magical substance that is
able to withstand the rigors of electrical /battery acid environment
and then one day due to another unexplainable act ...
similar to drilling through the bottom of your battery (we have all done
this or similar)
the new event causes your repair to fail
you said the hole is on the bottom so all your acid leaks out from that cell
-- your battery is in one of three places ... maybe four if under the bench
seat in the rear
but what ever - no matter where it is -- if it leaks out the corrosive fluid
will destroy what it contacts...
and you will or may lose power ...
which could or may cause an accident or at best a tow job
plus the inconvenience and delay  ---
all of which will likely add up to considerably more than the 100$ you are
going to spend today to know that your problem is solved and solved well

it continually amazes me where Vanagon owners choose to save money on these
vans ... "we Love"

yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
