New ECO Battery, New worry!
 
No, there is nothing wrong with my EB. In fact, ABSOLUTELY nothing is wrong with it. So why the new worry?

Well, my bride and I frequently stop at local stores during our long rides. I always remove the key (which is not Club Car stock) and go shopping. Never worried about my less than immaculate cart being messed with.

But now I have a $2000.00 EB installed, that I can remove with a 1/2" nutdriver in 30 seconds flat. A professional thief can probably do it faster than that.

I thought about a hasp to lock the seat down, but I don't like that idea much.

I've got to look for some 5/16 NC nuts for the battery hold down bracket that need a special tool to remove if such is available. Amazon has some for around $50. for 25 pcs. I only need 2 . Any suggestions?

I just put a extreme team pack in my cart and sorta wondered same thing. I haven’t come up with a solution I love yet but started thinking about it . If you come up with any clever ideas let me know and I will do same.

Insure the cart for more than it is worth?

Hmmmmm....


What it's worth.....Shucks $2000.00 would get me a new battery, but if they stole the cart, I wouldn't need the new battery.

What a dilemma!

I found these:

Kinda pricey but includes the key. I'm still looking for a less expensive option. There are cheaper options that are metric.... I hate metric! Especially when my down rods are 5/16-18.

I think I'm going to study locking the seat somehow. I really don't want curious people lifting the seat to see "what's under the hood".

There are some interesting seat locks by members of BGW years ago. I think I will come up with my own design.

You would think that you wouldn't have to worry about things being stolen there.
