DIYers, e-bike builders, RC hobbyists, and electronics repair technicians all need a reliable way to insulate and protect their battery assemblies — and loose tape or ill-fitting sleeves just don't cut it. This 280mm flat width PVC heat shrink tubing delivers a snug, professional wrap that stays put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach order includes a continuous roll of PVC heat shrink tubing with a 280mm flat width (approximately 560mm circumference when open), suitable for battery packs and cylindrical assemblies with an outer diameter of up to approximately 170–175mm (≈6.7\"–6.9\"). Available in lengths of 1 Meter (≈39.4\"), 2 Meter (≈78.7\"), 3 Meter (≈118.1\"), 4 Meter (≈157.5\"), and 5 Meter (≈196.9\"), and in five color options — Black, Blue, Fruit Green, Silver Grey, and Transparent — so you can color-code packs or match your build aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical use cases include wrapping lithium-ion and NiMH battery packs for e-bikes and power tools, insulating large-diameter cable bundles and bus bars, and providing a clean outer sleeve for DIY spot-welded battery assemblies.
