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.
