Battery Lock

Looks great but I agree, I would use a better lock. I don't think that lock would deter anyone, especially with all those nice batteries ripe for the taking. Good luck

The battery boxes are attached to the rack... they aren't going any where. LOL

great job,add the vertical bars to the other two batteries ,just in case it would jump out. nice job .

Looks like you had fun. It'll keep the batteries and covers in place if you hit some rough payment or high winds.

And that's the idea. I know if they really want them, they'll get them.

They're 6V - Just over 400Ah total.

That is a nice looking setup. You are detering the thief that takes stuff that is convenient. You are encouraging them to look elsewhere.

It will detour the causal thief. One of the reasons I have 6 volt batteries...only an RVer...

That would deter me from stealing your batteries.. But then, I wouldn't be trying to steal anyone's anything... :)

If you are of the mind that stealing stuff is "okay", then I guess it might keep a few from taking them, but maybe not all of those low lifes that feel the need to steal from others?

I had a single battery grow legs and walk away while parked next to my house..

Figured they got a 6 year old battery and I needed to replace it anyway, so no big deal, but I just remove the battery while stored and that's my security.

Yes, I see that you have 4 big and heavy batteries, so that might not be as easy as my little single one..

But, very nice job on the metal work and the battery arrangement in general.. Are they 12v or 6v batteries?

Only looking for a deterrent...
