Battery Lock

My version of the home-built battery lock (pre-paint). I used 1-1/2" aluminum flat under the boxes and 1" flat on top.

I like it !!

As for the comments about the lock. If you add a small tube around where the lock goes leaving only the key section sticking out it would deter someone from cutting the lock off. I hope you understand I didn't explain that very well.

This is real similar to the battery box I built, but with only two 6V batteries.

I'll up the comments. That's an awesome job and well done. I'm always trying to impress on my kids that most crimes are crimes of opportunity. Your setup will probably send most people down the street to the next unit that's not so locked.

Nice job!

Not too many crackheads wandering around with cut off grinders.

Determined thieves will steal no matter what protection you have.

Nice job. I like the 4 battery option too.
I'd upgrade the lock if you have a sturdier one lying around somewhere. That one will give up with a sharp blow from a hammer or rock or similar.

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

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