ABSTRACT:
A battery hold-down clamp effective to resist theft of a battery from a vehicle, such as an RV, boat, automobile, and the like. One version includes a metal strap that is bent to form a loop having a cross-section profile substantially in agreement with a held cross-section of a battery, or battery container. The metal strap is hinged, to permit the loop to be opened for its installation. A portion of anchor structure and the battery are then enclosed within the loop. The strap resists moving the battery away from the anchor structure. After the strap is placed around a battery and anchor, a lock is installed to resist opening of the loop and extraction of the battery in a radial direction. A structural interference may be formed between the installed strap and protruding structure associated with the battery, thereby resisting extraction of the battery from the loop in an axial direction.
