Why are 18650 batteries wrapped?
A lot of times we get people asking why the body of 18650 batteries are wrapped. Well
if you ever wondered
you are in luck today.
The reason 18650 batteries are wrapped is that the length of the battery is majorly a negative terminal. If they were not covered
the battery can easily short circuit with the positive terminal or other metals coming in contact
and that can make them to either vent and/or explode.
In general
the plastic wrap or cover over the battery tends to protect the battery from all forms of contact with the metal and other metals. This is vital for the safety of the battery user and usage
and those around.
If you notice a break or damage to your 18650-battery wrap
this is a sign that you have to replace or rewrap the battery. Without this wrapping on the batteries
there can be serious damages and even an explosion.
Rewrapping your 18650-batteries involves the complete removal of the previous wrap. Cut the new battery shrink wrap exactly to the size of your battery
before wrapping. But then
you may get some pre-cut wraps from the local store. Using those makes the job a lot easier.
How do you rewrap 18650 batteries?
The rewrapping your 18650 batteries is going to be done at your own risk. However
in this section
we will show you the steps to take to rewrap your battery. This tutorial involves the use of a lighter:
1.First step
This stage has to do with getting the required tools that are needed to get the job done. They include the following;
A.A lighter
B.Calipers or ruler (you must take special care if they are made of metal so that the case of a battery short circuit will not occur.)
C.Wrap
D.Scissors or Hobby knife
E.18650 battery
F.Paper rings (For paper rings
you may only use them if the previous one is damaged.)
2.Second step
This second step has to do with the cutting of the wrap. If flat
it measures 30 mm wide
and in terms of the inner diameter
its only a few millimeters wider than the 181650. And
that is only about 18.5 mm. Its also thin
which means that it will easily fit in things
such as a flashlight.
You may cut the wrap to be 3mm longer than each side
so it is about 71mm or 72mm. As for the 18650 batteries
they are a little longer
albeit not 65 mm. They can be between 67 and 68 mm
so you can add about 6 mm to your measurements.
You will be using the ruler to measure the 72 mm and then cut with scissors or a hobby knife. Also
you may model your cutting after some template. This enables you to cut each wrap and not always measure 72 mm
If
by any chance
the wrap gets damaged
you will have to get a new one. So
you have to be careful.
3.Third Step
In this third step
you will be removing the old wrap. If you are removing the previous wrap
youd be cutting on the negative terminal. This has to be done
because if you cut on the positive
the battery may be short.
If the previous wrap is already damaged
you may need to remove it with your fingers. Take care not to damage or even puncture the outer casing. If a protection circuit is present
there will be a flat metal piece going directly to the battery top.
However
you do not have to touch or bend that metal at all. Touching the metal is very dangerous
and if you remove the insulation
the battery will be short-circuited. If the wrap isnt damaged yet
it can be left.
The only reason the paper ring should be removed is if it is damaged or if it falls off. Otherwise
do not by yourself
lose or remove the paper rings
as they protect the battery against a short circuit of the positive and negative terminal.
However
you can buy a new one if the present one is misplaced or lost
or you can cut it out from cardboard or thick paper.
4.Fourth Step
After removing the paper ring
its time to return it to the top of the battery and to place the wrap on top. It would help if you used 3mm to 4mm at each end
although this depends on the amount you have left. It can be tested with an old battery.
As soon as you place the battery wrap and align it successfully
carefully apply heat to the battery from top to bottom with a lighter
and as youre doing so
rotate the battery with it. This will only take a few seconds.
If you leave it for long
the wrap may melt. However
try your best to ensure the battery is not heated for a long time.
Once finished
you can put the sticker or label in place with the original information. Or you can write the necessary information using a marker.
How do you deal with 18650 battery with damaged wrapping?
Over time
the wraps placed on 18650 batteries can become damaged
loosen
or destroyed in any way. In some cases
improper handling of the batteries can cause scratches or some indentations on the wrap
which will prompt a replacement.
Most of the time
however
the battery wraps simply damages over time as the battery ages and begins to peel from the battery either at the top or bottom of the battery
or both. There is little you can do to avoid this from happening.
However
if you try to use a battery with a broken or cracked wrap
you may just be exposing yourself to severe problems at some point soon. Cracks in wraps around the edges of a battery can bring about short-circuiting
explosion
and some other hazards. So it would be best if you fixed it as soon as it occurs
or better still
get a new battery.
The only challenge with getting a new battery is that it can be more expensive than fixing the old one. So
if you are on a budget
you may decide to fix the wrap using the instructions in this article
or you may opt to get a new one. Whichever option you choose
youd be safer than using a battery with a broken wrap.
