Providing the physical characteristics (ie Height x Length x Width plus terminal type) are the same, this one is identical to the one already fitted to your 'Van.

I also recommend the make. I have no connection to the supplying Co.

12v 110Ah 950 A
950A is the 'Cold Cranking Amps' (CCA) which says how good it is for short bursts of very high power, when starting the engine. This is the important number for a starter battery. The new battery CCA should be the same or larger.

110Ah is the charge capacity, ie the power to supply lower power sustained loads over a longer period. It is the important number for a leisure battery, not so important for a starter battery.

Any decent supplier of batteries will be able to tell you what spec of battery is correct if you give them details of your base vehicle, I.E. Mercedes Sprinter 412. Then it’s just a matter of deciding what quality you are prepared to pay for, Premium brands and a longer guarantee are better in my view.
I replaced the engine battery on our Hymer with a Bosch one which had a five year guarantee supplied by Euro car parts who offered a great discount as well.
