Wrapping a 20700 battery

[Dropmyload]

Not sure how it happened, but one of my new Ijoy Captain batteries has a tiny (2mm) nick in the wrapping. Its only 4 days old but sh*t happens I suppose.

I was thinking of just using some insulating tape to cover it since its so tiny, is that wise?

Have no idea where to get 20700 wrappers, or even how to wrap...most info on the net is about 18650 batteries.

Can anyone help?

Battery wraps are easily obtained (google 20700 Battery Wraps with Insulators) re wrap just as you would a 18650 or any other cylindrical battery

wrapping is pretty simple you just need wraps and a heat gun/blow dryer

If it's a tiny nick you can cover it for now, but yeah, ordering the right size wrap shouldn't be difficult.

Don't use to much and get stuck in your mod.

Seems my Captain hates my batteries...all now have small nicks in them! Very frustrating...I must be doing something wrong.

Some battery sections of certain mods are just known for eating wraps. It happens as you put them in and remove them. Sometimes the usually springy negative will loosen up and it becomes easier to put them in and remove, hopefully with less wrap damage. Where is the tear/nick you're concerned about, the positive or negative end?

Most nicks near the positive...when I put the positive in. Happens when removing the battery as it never comes out easily.

If it's a really small nick you can get away with still using it. If it's large enough to read the print on the white insulator, rewrap.

I'm kidding there's nothing printed on those insulator disks, but if you have exposure of that area you do run the risk of actually damaging that insulator and that's a bad, bad thing, leading to a short.
