Be careful. A group 48, often interchanged with a group 91 is 7=1/5 inches tall. The group 41 should be 6-5/8 inches tall.

At the Costso I saw that they are now carrying Interstae batteries and not the Krikland brand. They now have a suitable battery for our Vanagons. Here is what I found: Interstate, GP 91, 700CCA, 30 month free exchange, 85 month total warranty, $69.99, Code 10, item #517999, dimensions: 11-7/8" x 6-7/8" x 6-7/8" . They also had group 41 and 42 which also fit but are smaller with lower is CCA. This is the first time I see a battery for our Vanagons at Costco since they discontinued having the Kirkland model some time ago. Not sure if this is the case at all Costco's as we only stopped at the one in Napels so far on our journey. If you are by a Costco go have a look and report back. Please note that I will be away from my business travelling from November 01 until April 30, 2012. Parts orders will be processed although not as quickly as usual. I will always be available for contact by E-mail. If you phone your call will be addressed by Greg T. Brown here and he will either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail.
