Clear PVC Heat Shrink Tubing for RC Battery Packs — 7mm to 600mm
Clear PVC Heat Shrink Tubing — Transparent Battery Pack Sleeve Wrap for RC LiPO, NiMH & NiCd Packs Damaged battery wrap is one of the most common — and most overlooked — safety hazards in RC hobby builds. A torn or missing sleeve leaves cells exposed to shorts, moisture, and physical damage. This clear PVC heat shrink tubing gives RC enthusiasts, battery builders, and electronics technicians a fast, clean way to re-wrap or protect battery packs of virtually any size, from small 7mm-diameter cells to large 600mm-circumference multi-cell packs. Each listing covers a single flat-width size and length combination — flat widths range from 7mm (Φ4mm, ≈1/4" diameter) up to 600mm (Φ382mm, ≈15" diameter), with length options of 1M (≈3.3 ft), 2M (≈6.6 ft), 5M (≈16.4 ft), 10M (≈32.8 ft), 20M (≈65.6 ft), and 50M (≈164 ft) depending on the size selected. The tubing is made from clear PVC, giving you a transparent sleeve that lets pack labels and cell markings remain visible after wrapping. Select your flat width and length from the variant options above. Typical applications include re-wrapping LiPO packs for RC cars, trucks, and aircraft after the original sleeve tears; sleeving NiMH and NiCd sub-C cell packs for RC racing; and protecting custom battery assemblies in robotics, e-bikes, and portable power tools where a transparent, form-fitting cover is needed. 🔋 Compatibility: Suitable for LiPO, LiFe, NiMH, NiCd, and Li-Ion battery packs. Works with standard heat guns. Flat widths 7–600mm cover single cells through large multi-cell packs. The Φ (diameter) value in each variant name indicates the approximate round inner diameter before shrinking. ⚠️ Sizing Note: The flat width is the measurement of the tubing when laid flat — it equals approximately half the pack's circumference. To find your size: measure your pack's circumference ÷ 2 = required flat width. Always size up by 5–10% to allow the tube to slide on easily before shrinking. ✅ Key Features of These Clear PVC Heat Shrink Tubing Sleeves 🔍Transparent PVC Material — The clear finish lets you read cell labels, capacity ratings, and polarity markings through the wrap — no need to remove the sleeve to identify your pack. 📐Wide Size Range (7mm–600mm Flat Width) — Covers everything from individual 18650 cells to large multi-cell RC battery packs, making this a versatile clear heat shrink tubing option for hobbyists and builders. 🔥~2:1 Shrink Ratio — Shrinks to approximately half its original diameter when heated, conforming tightly to the pack surface for a smooth, wrinkle-free finish on LiPO and NiMH battery wraps. 📦Multiple Length Options — Available in 1M through 50M rolls so you can buy just enough for a single repair or stock up for ongoing battery pack building and maintenance. 🛡️Physical & Moisture Protection — Once shrunk, the PVC sleeve protects cells from abrasion, minor impacts, and light moisture — extending the service life of your RC battery packs. ✂️Easy to Cut & Apply — Cuts cleanly with scissors; slides over packs without adhesive. Apply heat evenly with a heat gun for a uniform, professional-looking battery sleeve wrap. 📐 Technical Specifications — Clear PVC Heat Shrink Tubing Material Clear PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Color / Finish Transparent / Clear Shrink Ratio Approximately 2:1 Flat Width Range 7mm (≈1/4") to 600mm (≈23.6") — see variant options Inner Diameter (Φ) Range Φ4mm to Φ382mm — see variant options Available Lengths 1M, 2M, 5M, 10M, 20M, 50M (availability varies by size) Shrink Temperature Typically 70–90°C (158–194°F) Wall Thickness (before shrink) Contact us to confirm for specific size Voltage Rating Contact us to confirm Typical Applications RC battery pack wrapping, LiPO / NiMH / NiCd cell sleeving, custom battery assembly ❓ Frequently Asked Questions How do I choose the right flat width for my battery pack? Measure the circumference of your battery pack and divide by 2 to get the required flat width. For example, a pack with a 100mm circumference needs approximately a 50mm flat-width tube. Always size up slightly — the tubing should slide over the pack easily before heat is applied. The diameter (Φ) listed in each variant is the approximate inner diameter when the tube is round. Is this tubing compatible with LiPO, NiMH, and NiCd battery packs? Yes. This clear PVC heat shrink tubing is commonly used to wrap and protect LiPO, NiMH, and NiCd RC battery packs. The transparent material lets you see cell labels and pack markings through the sleeve without removing it. What temperature is needed to shrink this PVC tubing? PVC heat shrink tubing generally begins to shrink at around 70–90°C (158–194°F). A standard heat gun on a low-to-medium setting works well. Avoid using an open flame directly on PVC as it can scorch or discolor the material. Can I use this tubing outdoors or in damp environments? Once fully shrunk, PVC heat shrink tubing generally provides a moisture-resistant barrier suitable for light outdoor use. It is not designed for full waterproof submersion. For harsh outdoor or marine environments, consider adhesive-lined dual-wall tubing instead. How much does the tubing shrink? PVC battery wrap tubing typically has a shrink ratio of approximately 2:1, meaning it shrinks to roughly half its original diameter when heat is applied. The exact ratio can vary slightly by size — always test on a scrap piece first. What length options are available? This product is available in multiple lengths including 1M, 2M, 5M, 10M, 20M, and 50M rolls, depending on the flat width selected. Smaller diameters (7–31mm) are available in longer lengths; larger diameters (36mm and above) are available in 1M, 2M, 5M, and 10M options. See the variant selector for all available combinations. Why choose clear PVC over black heat shrink for battery packs? Clear PVC allows you to read cell labels, capacity markings, and polarity indicators through the wrap without removing it. This is especially useful for RC hobbyists who swap packs frequently and need to identify batteries at a glance. Black tubing hides all markings once applied. 🛒 Select your flat width and length above, then add to cart — ships from our US warehouse.
