However it is quite a bit heavier, about 6 grams per pack for 4S 1500mAh for example. It’s much thicker (~0.5mm), more flexible, more durable, and it actually sticks to your anti-slip battery pad much better too. 1300mah)Ĭompared to PVC heatshrinks, rubberized heatshrink is a much better option for protection. 40mm Transparent from Amazon – Good for smaller packs (e.g.50mm Black from Amazon – I haven’t tested this.50mm Red from Hobbyking – One of the best.You can buy spare to replace your old one or add extra layers for protection. In my opinion PVC heatshrink can be useful to taking a few scratches, but they add little to none protection to your batteries against heavy impacts. PVC Heatshrink film is extremely light weight (less than 2 grams per pack), thin and stiff, it’s commonly used in battery packaging, your batteries are most likely already wrapped with this. Transparent from Banggood (70mm to 80mm for 4S 1300-1600mAh).There are two types of heatshrink for LiPo: Most LiPo already comes with a thin heatshrink but it doesn’t hurt to add an extra layer. Heatshrink provides basic protection to your LiPo batteries, it’s light-weight, cheap and easy to apply. This makes LiPo protection very important, but it’s often overlooked. With flying mini quads, crashes are inevitable. LiPo batteries are rated for over 300 charging cycles, if you had to dispose them early, you are not getting the most out of them :)

Pro Tip: How to dispose LiPo battery safely? Do not risk your house over a $20 battery! Damaged LiPo batteries can be dangerous and potentially cause fire. The general recommendation is to throw away dented or bent LiPo batteries for safety reasons.
It usually just sits on the top or bottom plate of the frame which makes them completely exposed to impact in crashes or get punctured by spinning propellers.
LiPo battery is probably one of the most vulnerable part of an FPV drone, and yet it’s usually placed at the most unprotected place on our mini quad. Further Reading: How to choose LiPo Battery for Racing Drones? Protecting LiPo Batteries from Physical Damage
