Re: what size shrink wrap for sub-c nicad cells
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?

Re: what size shrink wrap for sub-c nicad 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?LowClassCC wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 11:55 am This is 85mm wide.

Re: what size shrink wrap for sub-c nicad cells
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.

Re: what size shrink wrap for sub-c nicad cells
I just got some 40mm flat size and they fit perfectly. (2 to 1) Cut them to 50mm in length per cell.
