B-D RV Battery Lock (12-volt)

Even though I/we have never ever had an issue with a battery "walking away" in the 15+ years that we have been trailer camping I have been intrigued whenever I would see this simple battery locking system either in person or on camping forums.

A recent battery theft that Serge experienced ( ) had me finally pulling the trigger.

So I called and ordered one on Monday morning and it was on my front porch yesterday (Thursday) early afternoon.   

Grand total was $32.95.

 

Luckily the 1575's spare tire is mounted under the trailer body & not under the tongue area.  Also, the LP tank is far enough away from the battery tray that this is also not an issue.

*Both of these issues (spare tire & LP tank(s) location) cause difficulties apparently on all of the other Lance TT models besides the 1575 (& 1274).

 

Anyway, it is a simple, quick, but secure lockable bracket that fits easily around basic/standard group 24 & group 27 plastic battery boxes.

*It might fit around other boxes such as a group 31 box, but I have not tried it.

*They also sell a 6-volt battery box bracket as well.

 

I use a 4-digit combination padlock which uses the same combination as the locks on the coupler, bike rack, & side-yard trailer storage gate.

 

I fully realize that this will not stop a jerk from taking our battery while we are away from camp, but this will hopefully help him move along in search of an easier victim/target.

 

I didn't bother to load the battery in the box or hook up the battery cables, Victron battery monitor shunt, etc... for the pictures.  I also didn't bother bolting the box to the tray which I normally do (you can see the 2 bolt heads in the first picture below).

 

A few pictures below with a group 27 box (which in our case holds a group 29 battery) -
