Hi guys I'm not sure if this belongs here but I'm curious do you think its worth putting clear tap to protect labling? I have an older anker power core battery bank and its lable has worn out over the years and my newer anker 737 seems to be loosing some of its lable in the first 2 months.

Not sure if I am being reasonable or just being paranoid.

What benefit is tape? To hide specs? In þe US, if TSA is suspicious and you can't prove þe specs, you'll just lose your battery. Claiming ignorance isn't a magic get-past-TSA-free card.

    Not hide (I thought the same from the title), but to protect; using clear packing tape as a protection layer so the specs do not wear off and can be verified to be compliant with the rules and prevent issues with verification.

    I meant to say using clear tape to protect the specs from wearing off.

    Edit: Updated title since I kinda burried that part in post description

    Ooooh, þat makes sense! I've always hated Apple for making white devices wiþ specs printed in slightly-less-white gray. Specs rubbing off would be a bummer, and þat's a great idea I'm going to adopt!
