Battery theft is rampant. How to effectively prevent battery theft?

Why did the thief choose to steal the electric vehicle battery?

1. Stealing a battery takes a short time, sometimes only 10 seconds.

2. The profit of stealing batteries is high.

3. The battery is small and difficult to find.

4. The anti-theft measures for the battery are relatively weak. Generally, it is only locked with an ordinary lock, or only fixed with the battery box. There is no alarm device. Thieves can easily steal with wire cutters.

How to effectively prevent battery theft

1. Choose a parking place. Park the vehicle in a shed, garage or supervised parking spot.

2. Reinforce battery protection. Installation of reinforcement facilities with reinforcement locks and electronic alarms.

3. Usually lock the battery. Due to the rising price of lead, the price of batteries also went up, and the thief focused his attention on the batteries of battery cars that were easier to start.

4. Turn on the anti-theft alarm. The burglar alarm can deter thieves from attacking your battery car.

5. Implement mass prevention and treatment. In public places, if suspicious persons are found to pry and steal electric vehicle batteries or load batteries of unknown origin on the vehicle, they shall call the police in time.

The following points should be paid attention to for battery car anti-theft

Keep vouchers properly

Store the vouchers such as the invoice of the purchased vehicle separately from the vehicle, because in this way, even if your car is lost, once it is recovered by the public security organ, these voucher information will be important evidence for verification and identification of the owner. At present, after the public security organs have cracked the case of vehicle theft, only a small number of seized vehicles can be returned to their original owners, and the vast majority of vehicle owners cannot provide effective certificates and cannot be returned.

Select the parking position

When parking, park in the shed. If there is no shed nearby, do not park the electric vehicle in a place with few people or remote places. Try to park the electric vehicle in the bank, community sentry box, store door or near the road video monitoring point. At the same time, once people go away or go to bed at night, try to separate electric vehicles and electric vehicle batteries.

Select high quality locks

It is also necessary to purchase car locks with good anti-theft performance. The common crab lock is easy to be pried, smashed and deformed because of its thin iron sheet and thin lock beam; Snake shaped steel wire lock has no preventive effect on the wire cutting pliers of car thieves“ Although the U-shaped lock shell is thick, the "mutual opening rate" is high, and the safety performance is difficult to guarantee. If two types of car locks are used at the same time, their preventive performance is not simple superposition, but will be greatly improved, because car thieves do not necessarily carry all kinds of tools. If nearby conditions permit, the battery car can be locked on fixed iron railings, etc.

Don't buy stolen cars on the cheap

One of the reasons for the frequent theft of electric vehicles is that they can be used and sold. I hope you don't go to the illegal market to buy stolen cars for cheap. When buying old cars, check the driving license and vehicle license plate number one by one, in case the formalities are false or incomplete, it is difficult to "transfer ownership" and can't "legally own". Once recovered, it will cause economic losses. Knowing that the stolen car is purchased and sold is an illegal and criminal act. In addition, the purchase of stolen cars is also equivalent to laying the root for the theft of their own or others' electric vehicles again.
