The 9 litre Lith-Ex fire extinguisher provides plenty of firefighting power to effectively and safely tackle a fire involving even the largest lithium-ion batteries around. Plus, it has an easily-recognisable design to ensure it stands out when needed. While lithium-ion batteries are often found in small devices such as phones, they’re also used in electric vehicles, on boats and yachts, in the aviation industry, and used to store solar energy.

Using a non-toxic and revolutionary extinguishing agent, AVD (Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion) is deployed as a mist which then 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 which is safe to use on a lithium-ion battery and works even where a powder can’t.

Perfect for vehicles, aviation, marine, and medical facilities, the lightweight extinguisher has a 21A fire rating for wood, paper, and cloth fires and is safe to use on live electrical equipment up to 1000V. And with an impressively long discharge time of nearly 3 minutes, you’re able to tackle a large fire easily.

At present there is no standard for extinguishing Lithium batteries, however, the 9 litre Lith-Ex fire extinguisher is manufactured by FireChief in accordance with BS EN3, is CE Marked and has a 6 year warranty.
