I like the idea of the alarmed padlock from Halfords, but they get very mixed reviews on the website.

It's an EcoFlow Delta Max. I'll sit down with the manual and spec. and a calculator again and see what I (think I) can do.Are you charging a powerstation or a battery with a charge controller?
You can get smaller wattage panels, and connect them in different formations.
It all depends on the system being charged, its operational V(voltage) and I(current). You can over panel with wattage, but need to stay within the voltage and current, some will allow over and take what they need, others may go bang. It depends on the MPPT being used

It’s responsible to show how poor quality something is when people might think it’s a better option. I think it’s irresponsible to promote a flawed product and also I doubt thieves are browsing BCUK for techniques to circumvent them.
I think you've done all you can with what you have- ultimately that's all anyone can do.So what is the better option?
So far there has only been slating of my suggestion ,but no alternative suggestions.
I use this padlock, and I like it. It works well for me. If you have a better solution let's hear it!
I don't have oodles of money to spend on all singing and dancing systems. I did say it's a cheap solution, and as with all cheap solutions there are going to be limitations to its efficacy.
I have never suggested that any member would be hunting these pages to get ideas on how to steal from others, but, can you guarantee me that casual viewers who are not registered users of this site, may not be so ethical? After all, we do sometimes get people exploiting the sales threads to con members with buying or selling items, that's why we have the mods to winkle them out.
Not everyone can be trusted, especially nowadays with these difficult times.
I offered a cheap solution, nothing more. I have found them effective. Don't buy one if you don't want to, but please don't slate me for it.
I simply intended to give those, like myself, that can't afford the bells and whistles a simple cheap solution.
Every system has a work round for those with less than benign intentions, non is infallible, or theft would be non existent. so it's courses for horses.
Yep, absolutely. Looking at it, it’s a poor quality padlock. Pays to research before and it’s good to educate.In regards to the video, it's on YouTube, along with lockpicking advice and so on, so it can all be found online not just on here, but I think it was more so pointing out the flaws. Most padlocks can be struck with a hammer and opened, or with enough force, but that doesn't stop us buying and using them.

So what would you recommend?
I would be realy interested in a positive recommendation rather than knocking something you have no actual experience of, and just watched a few you tube vids on.
I have top grade, blooming expensive locks and chains with ground anchor and camera to protect the bike, I still use this as an audible warning/deterrent.
