10/2 update
If you want fresh Sanyo GAs already wrapped, check out The For Sale Post HERE .
As promised, here is a DIY wrap image. PDF on Google Drive
Print the PDF, trim it to width and length as needed for the batteries you want to wrap, put it under clear shrink tube. Or, print on adhesive labels, or…. whatever works for you. 
9/18 update
I’ve done some testing, and found that putting a wrap over the Sanyo GA’s OEM wrap results in a battery that works in an SP36 and should fit normally in an LT1. It however, does not fit in an FW3a. Peeling the OEM wrapper and using standard weight paper results in a cell that fits in an FW3a. Using a nicer, heavier paper results in a cell that is a friction fit in the FW3a. IMHO, that’s too tight.
Unless someone requests otherwise, I’m going to default to peeling the OEM wrapper so the cells will fit as many different lights as possible.

I’ve got some test batteries in and am working out the production details and final pricing.

Original Post
This is a Pre-WTS post to see what interest there is for logo’d battery sets to feed the upcoming BLF LT1 lanterns. Please leave comments and suggestions, and if you’re interested, how many sets.
Right off the top:
- I am not trying to claim any rights to the BLF LT1 logo or lantern design work.
- Any money I collect is for parts, labor and shipping.
- I have approval to include the logo
My goal is to be able to offer a set of 4 good cells wrapped in the BLF LT1 logo. This is an example of my initial revision.
My plan:
- Battery
- - I like to leave the original OEM wrapper on the cell to maintain a link to its authenticity, but it this can impact aesthetics. Would you rather have the original labeling underneath or the wrap right on the bare cell? These re-wraps are snug but not tight in my SP36 battery tubes, so I expect they will fit a Q8 or LT1 too.
- - I like the Sanyo NCR18650GA because they have nice capacity, decent current ratings, and a flat top just tall enough to engage an SP36/Q8/LT1 type ring contact.
-
- I’m open to other battery types, but I’m going to have to buy one kind in bulk up front to make this work.
- Wrap
- - a color print of the wrap under a clear shrink tube.
- - Because these will be one-off custom assemblies, personalizing a set may be offered.
-
- The wrap currently has 4 variants, identified as A, B, C and D. My initial though was to identify the batteries in a set, but there’s no reason they can’t be set A, set B, etc.
- Shipping
- - US only.
-
- I expect to use USPS and/or UPS depending on cost.
And the big one - Cost.
- - I’m targeting $30 for the set of 4.
-
- I’m hopeful that this will be a shipped price, but I need to do more planning before I can make any promises.
SECOND IDEA
I am seeing if I can work a deal for a logo printed directly on shrink tubing. Single color (black) looks like it will be easily doable. Two colors (black + yellow rays & lantern fill) might also work out. I have a healthy fear of how good/bad the colors will be aligned if they do a second color though. This option would be simple, but nowhere as fancy as the custom made ones I’m talking about above
Not being Lithium based fire in a can, I’d be able to send these pretty much anywhere mail is delivered. While you’re telling me if you’re interested or not, I’ll check into the supplies costs for shipping them.
