OK folks what is the tricks and tips for putting the skins on the
batteries?
I am asking this before I start because I am sure it is not as easy as it may seem.
Thanks,

OK, it's pretty easy but takes some patience.
Along with the great tip from GoodDog...
1. Clean the battery, make sure there are no particles or dirt on it.
2. Unpeel the wrap
3. Start at the TOP of the battery, line up the top edge of the wrap to the top edge of the battery
4. Line it up so it looks straight
5. Continue down until the bottom of the wrap meets the bottom of the battery, if it does, it is straight, if not, try again.
(there might be a slight gap)
6. Once it looks straight, slowly wrap the battery using your finger to press down in a vertical motion, from top to bottom every few millimeters.
within a few millimeters you'll be able to tell if it is straight because the top will stay in the same position.
7. Continue to the end. It should not need to be stretched so try not to stretch it if possible. If it doesn't look like it meets up with the other edge, then unstick half and stretch a bit.
That's it, if you are smoothing it down top to bottom as you go you'll have no bubbles or bad spots.
Hope this helps.
also, I made them 1mm wider than they used to be (when GoodDog ordered) to make it easier to line up and have no gap.
