Although there are many less expensive options out there, the absolute best
battery for this application is the Optima D900M (Deep Cycle Marine)
Battery. It has sealed spiral cells that allow it to be mounted on it's
side or even upside down with no risk of leaking. It also has 2 sets of
terminals that make it much easier to add the growing amount of connections
for radio, converters, etc. without having to pull the existing connectors
off.

It runs about $150, but it will outlast any other battery by a long shot. I
went through the same process myself six months ago and found that all the
other "true" depp-cycle batteries were too big for the space available under
the driver's seat. The Optima, due to it's sealed construction, mounts
perfectly on it's side (top facing toward the front) and I was able to use
the existing mounting brackets that VW used for the old battery.

If you want to learn what makes this battery so incredibly different from
the others, visit the Optima site at
.

If you decide to buy one, I'd be happy to walk you through the process of
installation and securing it with the existing mounting brackets. There's no
drilling or cutting and it fits perfectly in minutes.

Good luck!
