If you've ever finished assembling a battery pack only to find it looking exposed, unprotected, or prone to short-circuit risk from bare cell contacts, you know how critical a proper outer sleeve is. Whether you're a hobbyist building e-bike packs, an RC enthusiast assembling LiPo modules, or a technician refurbishing power tool batteries, a well-fitted heat shrink wrap is the last line of defense between your build and the elements.
This listing offers black PVC heat shrink tubing with a 373mm flat width, available in lengths of 1 meter (≈39.4"), 2 meters (≈78.7"), 3 meters (≈118.1"), 4 meters (≈157.5"), and 5 meters (≈196.9"). The tubing is made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a flexible and electrically insulating material with a generally 2:1 shrink ratio. Each order ships as a single continuous length in your chosen size — no joins or splices.
Typical use cases include wrapping large-format lithium-ion or NiMH battery packs for e-bikes and electric scooters, bundling and insulating cable harnesses in automotive or marine wiring projects, and providing a clean finished appearance on DIY power storage builds. The 373mm flat width makes it well-suited for large cylindrical or rectangular battery assemblies where standard small-diameter tubing simply won't fit.

Measure the total length of your battery pack or cable run, then add 10–15% extra for overlap and trimming. For example, a 900mm (≈35.4") battery pack would typically need at least 1 meter of tubing. Choose 2m or longer if you plan to wrap multiple packs or need spare material for future repairs.
PVC heat shrink tubing generally has a 2:1 shrink ratio, meaning it shrinks to approximately half its original flat width when heat is applied. The 373mm flat width typically yields a recovered diameter suitable for large cylindrical battery packs. Contact us to confirm exact recovered dimensions for your specific application.
PVC heat shrink tubing provides a degree of moisture resistance and is generally suitable for indoor and semi-protected outdoor use. For fully outdoor or submersed applications, adhesive-lined polyolefin tubing is typically a better choice. Contact us to confirm suitability for your specific environment.
A heat gun is the recommended tool. PVC heat shrink tubing typically activates at around 90–120°C (194–248°F). Keep the heat gun moving evenly around the tubing to avoid scorching or uneven shrinkage. A lighter can work in a pinch but may cause discoloration or inconsistent results.
Yes, this black PVC heat shrink sleeve is commonly used to wrap lithium-ion and LiPo battery packs for e-bikes, RC vehicles, power tools, and DIY energy storage builds. Always ensure the battery pack is fully assembled and cool before applying heat to avoid thermal stress on the cells.
Measure the circumference of your battery pack using a flexible tape measure. The flat width of the tubing should be roughly half the circumference, or slightly larger to allow easy insertion before shrinking. For a pack with a circumference of around 700–740mm, 373mm flat width is generally a good fit. Contact us if you need help sizing before you order.
Yes. The tubing is supplied in continuous lengths (1m through 5m) and can be cut to any length with scissors or a utility knife before or after shrinking. Cut cleanly and squarely for the neatest finish on your battery pack wrap.
