stripped AA batteries

[paulsl]

I stripped the plastic of some Tenergy 2600Mah while putting them in a battery pack. Anything to do besides tossing them? can they be fixed by recovering? If so, how?

Thx

Just buy some thin shrink wrap. mcmastercarr google them page 778 or around there.

battery pack (type) sellers have battery pack making shrink wrap.

(that is the IDEA, i am not recommending this particular seller or anything, i just happen to have them bookmarked.)

in a pinch i have wrapped good quality clear packing tape around cells, good quality meaning there is some really thin garbage packing tape in existance.

Thx guys. I think I may try the thin packing tape. I'm having trouble with mcmastercarr. Can't find a thread that fits the bill. Would an automotive place that also sells hobby cars, planes etc. be able to do it? I need to buy a couple of cases of synthetic motor oil from a place like this.. I hope he doesn't look at me as if I had 3 eyes. Thx. again.

Packing tape, vinyl electrical tape, duct tape, paper glued on -- use your imagination. It doesn't take much. It just has to be tough enough so you don't scratch through it in the normal course of handling and use.
