When you're building or repairing large battery packs, cable harnesses, or industrial wiring assemblies, finding heat shrink tubing wide enough to do the job cleanly is a real challenge. Standard tubing falls short — literally. This 400mm large diameter heat shrink tubing is designed for makers, EV hobbyists, electricians, and DIYers who need a professional-grade sleeve that actually fits oversized components without improvising.
Each piece is supplied as a flat-width tube measuring 400mm (≈15.7") across when laid flat, available in lengths of 1 Meter (≈39.4"), 2 Meter (≈78.7"), and 3 Meter (≈118.1"). Made from polyolefin material, it offers consistent wall thickness, clean shrinkage, and reliable electrical insulation. Choose from Black, Blue, Transparent, or Fruit Green to suit your build or color-coding system.
Typical applications include wrapping 18650 lithium-ion battery pack assemblies, insulating large-gauge cable splices and bus bars, protecting copper tubing or conduit ends, and finishing custom power tool battery rebuilds — all scenarios where standard heat shrink tubing for battery wraps simply isn't wide enough.

Measure the component or cable run you need to cover, then add at least 10–15% extra to account for shrinkage along the length axis. For battery packs, generally choose a length that extends 20–30mm beyond each terminal end. Available in 1 Meter (≈39.4"), 2 Meter (≈78.7"), and 3 Meter (≈118.1") options.
Large-diameter polyolefin heat shrink tubing of this type typically has a 2:1 shrink ratio, meaning it will shrink to approximately half its supplied diameter when heat is applied. The 400mm supplied flat-width will generally shrink down to around 200mm. Contact us to confirm the exact ratio for your specific order.
Standard polyolefin heat shrink tubing provides good moisture resistance once fully shrunk and sealed. For prolonged outdoor or submersion use, an adhesive-lined (dual-wall) variant is generally recommended. This product is suitable for indoor electrical insulation and short-term moisture protection in most DIY applications.
Polyolefin heat shrink tubing of this type typically activates at around 90°C (194°F) and fully shrinks at approximately 120–150°C (248–302°F). A heat gun is the recommended tool. Avoid open flames, which can cause uneven shrinkage or scorching on large-diameter sleeves.
Yes. The 400mm flat-width diameter makes this tubing well-suited for wrapping large-format lithium-ion battery packs, 18650 cell groups, and similar assemblies. It provides electrical insulation and a clean, finished appearance. Always ensure the battery pack is fully assembled and cool before applying heat.
Color choice is generally functional or organizational. Black is the most common for electrical insulation and UV resistance. Transparent allows visual inspection of the component underneath without removing the sleeve. Blue and Fruit Green are useful for color-coding different circuits, voltage levels, or battery banks in multi-pack builds.
Yes. The tubing can be cut to any length with scissors or a utility knife before application. Cut cleanly and squarely to ensure even shrinkage at the ends. It is generally easier to cut before shrinking rather than after.
