That will work, but be careful. They're just super heavy and you certainly don't want to drop it on concrete and bust it. You don't need a tranny jack though, just a simple $30 auto parts store jack will work fine. Use a piece of wood between the jack and battery to spread the load.
The AMG ones are the ones with the fancy logos and carbon fiber...
Seriously...those suckers are heavy depending on size....watch your fingers. The car ramp idea sounds doable. Also don't let the terminals touch any metal or you'll be welding stuff that you don't want to weld.....
As 86Scotty mentioned, a jack and a chunk of wood works...perhaps even the factory van jack. A helper would be a big help too.

Block up the battery and lift the van.
