My Vanagon battery seems loose. Will this GoWesty bracket really hold it tight?

Absolutely! The original battery hold-down bracket on many Vanagons has a known design flaw that often leads to a loose battery. Our improved bracket is specifically engineered to securely hold either a standard Group 41 battery or our GoWesty LiFePO 100ah battery. You'll feel much more confident knowing your battery is firmly in place, especially on those bumpy roads.

I have a 1985 Vanagon with swivel seats. Will this battery bracket fit my setup?

This specific battery hold-down bracket is designed for Vanagon models from 1980-1991 that do NOT have swivel seats. Swivel seats often require a different configuration. Please double-check your interior setup to ensure this is the correct part for your vehicle.

Is this bracket difficult to install? I'm not a professional mechanic.

Not at all! We designed this bracket with a refined geometry specifically to make installation simpler. Most customers find it to be a straightforward process to replace the old bracket and secure their battery properly. It's a truly practical and effective upgrade for your Vanagon.

What's the bracket made of? Will it rust out quickly?

We've constructed this battery hold-down bracket from robust, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. This means it's built to last and won't easily succumb to rust or corrosion, even in the challenging environment of a Vanagon battery compartment. It's a long-lasting solution for a common Vanagon issue.

The geometry of the original battery hold-down bracket was not quite right. It has one simple job to do, and doesn't do it well. We have engineered our bracket to securely retain a standard Group 41 or our GoWesty LiFePO 100ah battery within the Vanagon battery compartments. It features improved geometry for easier installation and is crafted from durable and corrosion-proof stainless steel. Simple, effective, and affordable.
