Exposed battery wire: okay to use electrical tape?

Problem: I replaced the OEM battery with a generic one from iFixit. Its individually wrapped “rainbow” wires weren’t shaped like the OEM battery’s were, preventing them from laying flat. They obstructed a case screw. I didn’t realize this until I looked to see why the screw wasn’t going in, and then saw the slightly frayed cable.

Question: Is wrapping each exposed wire of the battery cable with electrical tape okay? Aside from the added bulk in a tight space.

Thanks!

@vermilion_beats as long as it is just frayed, yes it is okay. Just make sure it stays well insulated from any metal, component etc.

The wire might be a bit scratched from the multiple screw-in attempts. I can't fix things for a few days, so I can't check. It shouldn't be in danger of breaking though. I'm going to use overlapping vinyl electrical tape on the wires, and then maybe tape them to the motherboard like the OEM battery.

I'll check back with the results later.

Update: Ordered another battery and replaced it. I could see dull gray, so I think that the wire was basically exposed. Thank you for the help!
