Default Battery Wrap

Mine has started to disintegrate. Is there a better aftermarket one to use or should I just go with an OEM?

Disintegrate? Is your battery leaking? That shouldn't "disintegrate" if it's not getting chemicals like battery acid or oil on it.

There was some corrosion on the terminal when I replaced the battery recently, so that probably contributed. The padding was fine but the black portion started flaking and falling apart when I took it off to replace the battery. I'm curious as to how well it even works anyways.

sounds good. link me to some pics.

Curious though. since you aren't using it anymore, what are you using in place of it?

I'm not using it; I installed a larger battery and it does not fit around it.
PM me if I haven't gotten any pics in the next couple of days; I'll try to remember to take some
