You've got it right. Any good quality 12v deep cycle battery with max
ah that fits the box (I think you will find group 31 is the largest
that will fit). Don't worry about cca, just ah. The EVC is set up
with a ventilated battery box and conventional charging system which
is a fool proof system for traditional batteries.
If you want to upgrade with more capacity, that is another story for
which you will find multiple opinions and options.

The auxiliary battery in my '02 EVC is dead. The VW manual says
that
it's important to chose a replacement with the correct specs, but
neither the VW manual nor the Winnie manual list any specs other
than
12 V. The OEM battery is long gone, of course, so I can't check the
specs on the case. I don't want to assume that the previous owner
installed the right battery, and I do assume that my local battery
guy
will know nothing about the EVC.
What ARE the specs for the '02 EVC auxiliary battery? I've been
reading about Trojans, Dekas, and Odysseys on this board, but which
models match the VW specs? Or does it matter if I depart from the
VW
specs as long as I go with a deep cycle 12 V battery that fits in
the
EVC's battery box and has lots of Ah? My dead battery is a Werker
31MDC: 12V, 105 Ah, 775 CCA.
Thanks for your help!
