If you trash the heat shrink wrap on your batt packs and need replacement
go to your local boat winter storage dock/facility they are unwraping the boats now, the same heat shrink as batt packs, all u can carry for free :)

I would suspect some sections to be still ' Un-schrunk'.. but all flat sheet.. how do you stick them ? double sided tape maybe ?

PVC glue maybe? I picked up some 24cm shrink tube from Ebikes.ca when I reconfigured my packs. Cheap enough that it wasn't worth a trip anywhere else...

Do you have a picture of any packs you've reshrunk with flat sheets? Sometimes it's hard to find the larger sleeves, so it would be good for DIY'ers that live in the boonies.

You dont need a tube just wrap glue ends then heat and it will shrink

The guy's that put the shrink on the boats use a tiger torch (flame)
They do sell a heat shrink tape for joining ends but non of the pros use it
If you practice it will stick to itself when you heat it.

I'm going to do one pack this weekend i'll post pics.
