Shrink Sleeving
for Battery Packs
Our main business is the assembly of custom special battery
packs and as such we have in stock many different sizes of shrink
sleeves used to insulate and package different size battery
packs. We have been asked on numerous occasions to supply short
pieces of sleeves to individuals, clubs and schools for various
projects. We put together the following page to assist people
to help choose the correct size.
The art of achieving a nice neat job is
to choose a sleeve that is the tightest fit around the item
and then to apply an even heat, using a hot air gun, taking
your time so as not to cause the sleeve to split.
A common mistake that people make is to
use shrink sleeve that needs excessive heat to shrink down
and not realising that this heat can actually cause damage
to the original cells sleeving and therefore exposing potential
short circuits. The PVC sleeving we use shrinks reasonably
easily.
