Battery Heat Shrink

[rfulcher]

Does anyone know where you can get large clear heat shrink to go around a whole lipo battery. I have several batterys and the labels are rubbing off and some where there is a hole developing through the heat shrink on the pack. I was hoping to start putting a clear heat shrink around it and I can replace as it gets damaged.

I haven’t done this but maybe you can give it a try and let us know how it works.

There are various sizes available on Amazon, just need to measure the battery and select the appropriate size you need:

Soooo….. you are considering putting a flame to a Lipo that has a hole in it?
You may want to think twice about that. Granted the shrink tube is covering the damaged area, but……

He can use a hot air thingy.

I do have a heat gun, but noted that could get ugly!!! So have the GoPro on for historical purposes.

Man, you folks are dedicated. I just use a few tight wraps of clear packing tape to "re-seal" the lipos (esp. hard cases). Holds up pretty well actually.

Well not too bad really. I won't leave as much on both ends next time. It was really easy and quick. I am going to try my 2S lipos also.

I used this for 4S

I am pretty happy with it. It was really easy with a heat gun.

I do the same thing to my packs, I usually go one step further and shrink wrap them BEFORE I even first run them. Helps keep the sticker intact and the pack looking nice. Ill usually re wrap them every few months or if the wrap gets damaged.

That is a good idea. I will start doing that.
