Will this battery lid insulation pad fit my Vanagon, or does it require modification?

This battery lid insulation pad is designed to perfectly fit the primary battery cover on Vanagon full camper, 7-passenger, and Weekender models. If you have an auxiliary battery cover, you might need to make minor trims for a perfect fit. It's a great way to protect your battery from short-circuiting on the steel cover.

How hard is it to install this battery insulation pad?

Installation is super easy! Just open your battery compartment, make sure the steel battery cover is clean, and then stick on this electrically-insulating pad. It's a simple peel-and-stick process that takes just a few minutes and provides great peace of mind.

What's the main benefit of using this pad instead of just relying on the original battery cap?

The original battery cap can be flimsy and might not offer enough protection. This dedicated insulation pad is specifically designed to prevent short-circuiting by ensuring your battery terminals don't make contact with the steel battery cover. It's an affordable upgrade for safety and reliability.

What years and models of Vanagon is this battery insulation pad compatible with?

This battery lid insulation pad works with Vanagon models from 1980 all the way through 1991, including 2WD and 4WD versions. It's suitable for various trims like the 7-Passenger, Campmobile, Weekender, and Westfalia models, whether you have an automatic or manual transmission.

Fits nicely. No shorts.

Appreciate the precut size and ease of installing on the OEM metal battery cover.

Prevents the door from touching the terminals

Works as specified,

Cut to order

I cut my pad in half and plan to use it to cover both positive leads in my batteries.

Peace of mind

I bought this to adhere to the underside of my battery cover so I didn't have to worry about shorting anything out if the terminals ever touched other metal when the van is bouncing around

Battery Mat

This is just what i needed to keep the battery on a nice cozy mat. It works perfectly

Snug and insulated

No rattle, insulates, perfect! Used these on both the battery and auxiliary lithium battery behind drivers side seat. Love it!

Simple and perfect

I have no doubt I could have hacked together essentially the same thing, but this simple battery lid insulation pad was instant perfection for the project. Peel, stick, forget, move on to the next project. Thanks for thinking of the little things.

Comfort item

Not necessary but does make the ride quality slightly nicer with less noise.

Great product

This bright peace of mind as I was always concerned about the lid touching the terminals

Go Westy has my back

Hard to find

Replace that duct tape.

Replace that duct tape protecting your battery cover from shorting out. This should have come stock.

Right Size

Works well and it is exactly the right size-
I had a piece of thin plastic covering the + terminal- this is much more efficient.
Glad you folks decided to design something like this.
