lock for battery

I have the B-D battery lock bars for my two 6 volt batteries. They are good quality and work well when used with a quality padlock. I'm sure that the batteries could still be stolen, but the locks act a deterrent. Hopefully, a thief will move on to an easier target.

I have no reason to think that the batteries will be stolen, but I'd rather take a proactive measure rather than reacting to a theft after it has occurred.
