I took some more measurements and I was wrong--a group 41 battery will fit, once the seat is out of the way. I measured ~6.75" high, ~7.25" wide (front to back) and ~13" long. A standard 41 is 11.5" long, 6-7/8" wide and 6-5/8" high. I will be leaving my extra battery under the rear seat, however. I do need to fix up those swivel seat mechanisms.... One of VWs finest engineering designs.
