That looks like a good deal although it isnt precut. They have precut ones too

The pre-cut ones are even a good deal at $2.00 for 10 and they have multiple colors. I just placed an order, thanks for your help.
Another good option.

Thanks!
Fasttech has great deals on battery wraps if you can stand the shipping time...if it's an emergency, go with Battwrap for a small order and get the larger one from Fasttech.
ok so I have a question on battery wraps...can someone explain to me how I do this? My order from illumn just arrived and I need instructions on how to properly use these things!
I appreciate the help.
They need to be shrunk on, just like electrical heat shrink. You need to cut them a bit longer than the battery, slide them over the battery, centering the battery within the length of the sleeve, then shrink them with a heat gun or very hot hair dryer.
HTH,
Dom
thanks Dom, you rock!
I find that, if you use a hair dryer, partially cover the air input for a hotter airflow. Just be real careful you don't hold it too long or you risk destroying the hair dryer. I use an old one nobody liked so if it dies, it dies.
With a heat gun, don't hold the heat for more than a moment on any one part of the battery. Lithium batteries object to heat, and won't reward you well if they get too hot--although that's difficult to do.
