Wow thank you OK, I'm going to put in two of the better batteries into our mods and just charge them via USB so hubby can't damage them further. I'll get some wraps and some new batteries. Really appreciate the help!
is this acceptable wrapping?

Oh wow so it really is safe if you just cover it. Clear nail varnish before cello tape?View attachment 200062
Did a quickie with sellotape, not the prettiest but can see well enough. I have wrapped an entire battery with those wide sellotapes with success. If it is safer, it is safer. Just looked like a bomb
I started doing it to all my batteries from new, and the wraps lasts very long. I use the nitecore ripper charger as well. No idea if the clear nail varnish is a good idea or worth the wait. But yes as long as the metal is insulated, should be good.
I'm in no way affiliated with these guys, but at this price, there's no reason to be using batteries with damaged wraps.
I ordered a stack of them some time ago to make it worth the shipping cost.

Ah thank you so much, but I actually got my hands on some wraps, it's my plan to wrap today, though I have no idea where the hairdryer is, we have a halogen heater that's like our own personal sun thought I'd try that

Watch your fingers the heat seems to creep up on you.
Using the hairdryer is really easy. I am used to heat shrinking insulation on wires. Putting a wrap on a battery is much easier.
What I do is hold thumb and finger each end with the wrap in place. I pre heat the hairdryer and then just gently play it over the battery. It takes seconds and the wrap grabs the battery and curls around the top and bottom.

Both myself and may daughter have hair down to our waist just about. You'd think I'd know where such a thing is hahahhaa
You didn't, I stole someone else's
Well I'll tell you what I did last night. Less than two hours in Nitecore the Ripper claimed a brand new victim. So I just wrapped my new wrappings at the bottom (where that bastard catches) with that clear packing tape you have there.Wow so what you guys are saying is I can sort out my little problem (left) with this solution (right).
Right?
