If you have one, go to batteries plus and ask for some shrink wrap that'll fit, they're not allowed to sell it, so they usually will just give me the amount i need, or electrical tape  |

bob knows - Do yourself a HUGE favor and avoid the electrical tape. You'll have a big mess on your hands (literally) as soon as it gets warm... | |

I ran electrical tape too below heat shrink when i made some custom LiFe packs with A123 cells...so i guess my experience with it isn't bad. But yea, i'd suggjest heat shrink over electrical tape anyday, but elec tape is an alternative. | ||
