Ooops, sorry all.  I didn't notice "AGM"...when I posted about NAPA batts.
I use regular batteries for all my Vanagon needs, not special RV or
whatever batteries.

  I do also have two very large marine/starter deep cycle batteries for use
in our camp trailer's electrical/solar system and they, too are dependable
and easy to replace at any small town NAPA store...
