Marking Batteries

[englishmick]

I'm still running on my first pair of HE2 batteries. Now I've just ordered a couple more. I was hoping to mark them in some way. Maybe put the purchase date on them.

I did mark one of them with a permanent marker a while back, but the wrapping is so smooth it came right off after a few cycles. Anyone got any suggestions for marking batteries?

One more question. My Sigelei has a glitch that causes the display to stay lit sometimes, which runs the battery down to 2.2V before it shuts off. It only happened half a dozen times before I figured out what circumstances lead to it happening, and the batteries seem to be fine now. I know it's bad for batteries to be run that low, would a handful of run downs like that do much damage?

thanks

Brother P Touch label system or one of its siblings. Very slim labels that you can just stick to the battery. They shouldn't cause any size issues when installing and if they get messed up you can just print another one.

I marked with a permenant marker but all gone off. So i prefer to use a simple electrical tape to mark them.
Not wrapping the all but a small pice at the bottom..

decorators white masking tape works okay, holds up for along time when writing on it with pen. i write the date and parallel or series and you could pair them with the alphabet...

i have a glitch on my sigelei where sometimes over 50watts where the numbers are suppose to be rounded up i could get a point and a number aswell, it mostly happens when i race past the 50w to fast

although the purp efest arent the best batt's they must be quite hardy cus without realising i only had the one efest running in my parallel box mod at 0.06ohms, by the time i realised and pulled the hot battery i was below 3.5v, after letting it cool and rest i charged her back up and she still runs in sync(discharges) with the paired batt.

I date and mark mine but I just use a Sharpie and when it wears off after a couple few months I redo it.

If you mark them with a sharpie, put a piece of clear Scotch tape over the marking afterward and it will last a long time ;-) Most devices will have enough room to accomodate the thickness of that piece of tape without any issue

I've never thought of that but it makes total sense. Thanks DreamWithin

I do this for all sorts of things...juice bottles, put it over the addy on packages so the ink doesn't run if it rains. love me some packing tape! lol
