A method of securing a battery for an electric work vehicle, the battery comprising a biometric identification device. A biometric identifier is collected from an operator using the biometric identification device. The biometric identifier is checked against a list of authorized operators. In an event that the operator matches an authorized operator from the list of authorized operators, access to the battery is enabled such that the operator is able to use the battery; remove the battery from the electric work vehicle and a charging module; and mount the battery into the electric work vehicle. In an event that the operator does not match an authorized operator from the list of authorized operators, access to the battery is prevented such that the operator is prevented from using the battery; removing the battery from the electric work vehicle and a charging module; and mounting the battery into the electric work vehicle.
