what size shrink wrap for sub-c nicad cells

[JosephS]

What size shrink wrap reduces to the right size for sub-c cells, what about for 3 cell sticks?

Thanks in advance

This is 85mm wide. It was honestly too wide, I would suggest 75mm wide for packs like this. or are you needing to know what size for individual sub c cells?

I'm actually looking for the per cell wrap size and not a pack. Were you using 2:1 or 3:1 for your pack wrap?
or is the 75mm the post shrink size.

The cell shrink size is 52mm long and 43mm wide. I bought this stuff years ago in bulk and have zero clue to its shrink rate.

the green pack shrink in the pic i picked up from an ebay seller.

I just got some 40mm flat size and they fit perfectly. (2 to 1) Cut them to 50mm in length per cell.

They look nice, are those MCI decals on colored heat shrink?

Some old Nicads, you could use nimh cells (they are a touch longer)

just make sure the heat shrink isn't to thick, there is some thick stuff out there that makes the packs abit to big. Ask me how I know
