Is this a SAFE battery re-wrap???

[Bravoroni]

Hey guys,

So I just re-wrapped one of my Samsung 30T’s. However the wrap was a little longer than I expected. And when I was done the wrap was over / covering the white insulation disc. The disc is definitely there, but it’s hard to see as it’s under the wrap.

please tell me if this is safe to use? I use mostly mechs and just want to make sure.

please see the pics below the black battery is the one i RE-wrapped and the other one is just a factory wrapped Samsung 30T.

Looks OK to Me.

Even Coverage. No Big Wrinkles. Good Deal.

Thanks for the reply. I mean is it safe that the wrap is covering the insulator ring? I guess in theory that should make it “extra safe” but just wanted to make sure.

Sure. As long as you can't short out between the center post and the side of the battery...

Covering an insulator with an insulation wrap...shouldn't be a problem at all.

I like to Fully Cover the Insulator Ring when I do a Re-Wrap. It just Looks like how it should be. And not like the Ring is going to somehow Pop Out.

Yes, just consider it double insulated. However, just keep an eye on it, that it doesn't start to get snagged on the battery charger contacts as you remove and insert the battery. It may even start to curl causing a snag to be more likely to happen.

Otherwise it's all good and it will work fine and be safe in a mech as it is in the picture.

I wonder if the manufacturers leave the insulation visible just for inspection?? Make sure the insulator guy actually put one or not.

Looks better than the one I 've done. I think the key is to inspect the battery before and after each use to confirm the wrap remains fully in tact.

Looks better than mine.
