The world’s first fire extinguisher specially designed for lithium-ion battery fires within portable electronic devices, the 1-litre Lith-Ex fire extinguisher has a compact design. Ideal for fires involving mobile phones, tablets, laptops, drones, toys, power tools and electric scooters, it’s the safest and most effective solution.

Using a non-toxic and revolutionary extinguishing agent, AVD (Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion) is deployed as a mist that creates a film over the surface which instantly dries to create an oxygen barrier, cools and prevents re-ignition. The Lith-Ex fire extinguisher is the only one safe to use on a lithium-ion battery and works even where a powder can’t.

Perfect for homes, hotels, vehicles, aviation, marine, and leisure facilities, the lightweight extinguisher has a 5A fire rating for wood, paper, and cloth fires and can be safely used on live electrical equipment up to 35kV.

At present there is no standard for extinguishing Lithium batteries, however, the 1-litre Lith-Ex fire extinguisher is manufactured by FireChief in accordance with BS EN3, is CE Marked and has a 5-year warranty.
