Nick in P28A Wrapping

[Stochastic.Wolf]

Should I be worried about this little nick near the positive side of my P28A? It isn't actually punctured through or anything. I just got 4 of these a few days ago and haven't even used them, only charged all 4 of them to 100%

I don't see metal. I would use it. I am not telling you to use it. Just what I would do.

If there’s any nail polish around, I might put a dab there and keep an eye on it.
I have a couple like that.



If it gets bad, you can buy some new wraps here.

What they ^^^ said.

Electrical tape also works

However, some tubes can be quite snug for tape, and the tape itself can become sticky over time.

I have mechanical mods and I use them from time to time. Many of them are bare metal where the battery installs. For the most part, I have sets of batteries just for the mechanicals. 21700s and 18650s. They have known characteristics. They are marked with markers. I also keep a good supply of wraps and positive side insulators for both types. lol It's good to be paranoid about batteries. The wraps are cheap. I would keep a supply of the positive insulators as well. I have had them split. It's super easy to rewrap them if you're unsure. Maybe 5 or 10 minutes work. Probably would not use electrical tape. If it heats up, the adhesive will melt, it's probably going to slide off the battery. Just my opinion.

Just go with the flow.

Down the river and into the sea! Sound better than going up the river.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

That's how I made my living, I did that so everyone else did not have to. Hard habit to break. I know what you're saying.
