Create safety for industrial cells. Only suitable for unprotected 18650 batteries. (max. length 66 mm)

Heat shrink tubing in various colours cut to fit 70 mm for 18650 cells.

Many battery suppliers for everyday use such as Efest, Keeppower, Enerpower etc. already provide their own batteries with a durable PVC shrink sleeve to ensure safety in use. As industrial batteries are built for further processing, the protective sheathing of the cells is not sufficient for daily use.A damaged protective sheathing can quickly be the undoing of Li-Ion batteries. (Short circuit, fire, explosion etc.).

Examples of use:

Replace damaged protective sheathing. Attach additional heat shrink tubing to increase safety (especially important for industrial cells). Replacement for already worn or torn down heat shrink tubing. Matching the heat shrink tubing - and also an important part of the protective sheathing - we ve got insulating rings for the positive pole made of HPVC. Article number: 401511

Processing:

Pull the heat shrink tubing over the cell so that the cell is in the centre of the heat shrink tubing. Using a heat gun or a suitable hot air dryer, first shrink the tubing at the positive pole and then at the negative pole. When the tubing has shrunk at both poles and looks tight, the treatment is carried out on the outer surface of the cell.

Tips and safety:

Do not heat the shrink tubing and battery too much, because the shrink tubing starts to shrink at 80 °C already. Do not heat the cell for too long. Do not place the cell and shrink tubing in the oven or microwave. (Fire and explosion hazard)

Scope of delivery: 1x heat shrink tubing in the desired colour
