This 420mm wide heat shrink tubing is sized for exactly those applications, giving you a clean, professional wrap on large-format battery assemblies and multi-cell builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eEach piece features a 420mm flat width (≈16.5\"), which expands to cover large-diameter battery modules and grouped cell assemblies. Available in lengths of 1 meter (≈39.4\"), 2 meters (≈78.7\"), and 3 meters (≈118.1\"), and in your choice of Black or Blue. The tubing is made from flexible, electrically insulating material — typically polyolefin or PVC — and shrinks uniformly when heat is applied, conforming tightly to the surface beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical applications include wrapping lithium-ion battery modules for e-bikes and electric scooters, insulating bus bar assemblies in DIY power walls and home energy storage builds, protecting wire harnesses in automotive or marine environments, and adding a finished outer sleeve to repaired or rebuilt battery packs.
