Waterproof your Batteries in seconds!

Step 2 Do it!

all you need to do is put a dab of your waterproofer around the dimple-end of the battery!

ideally you want a waterproofer that starts as a thin liquid so that it soaks in well - there is a fiber washer around the metal dimple, which should soak up your waterproofer, and it will also soak into all the corners under the washer.

that's it! .... unless your battery is already well used? the 2nd photo below is a battery that had already suffered quite a bit of wear and tear - the plastic wrap was partly ripped, and the fiber washer was damaged so i removed it. in this case its still very easy - just put a few drops into the dimple area, and use something thin like a paper clip to spread it all around into the gaps.

if you accidentally get some on the dimple, you can wipe it off before it dries, or scrape off afterwards.

I would suggest using a plastic paper clip, wooden or plastic toothpick or other non conductive tool as a metal paper clip could short the battery momentarily if the plastic insulator is damage or you poke the clip under it.... Overall a very good Instructable
