The Lith-Ex 500ml fire extinguisher is the World’s first fire extinguisher specifically designed for use on lithium-ion battery fires commonly used in mobile phones, tablets, laptops, drones, toys, power tools and electric scooters. Compact and lightweight, the extinguisher is manufactured in Great Britain and is supplied with a handy slimline wall bracket.

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. This Lith-Ex fire extinguisher is the only one which is safe to use on a lithium-ion battery up to 62Wh and works even where a powder can’t.

Perfect for homes, hotels, vehicles, aviation, marine, and leisure facilities, the extinguisher can be used on Class A (wood, paper, cloth, etc) fires and is safe to use on live electrical equipment up to 35kV.

At present there is no standard for extinguishing Lithium batteries, however, the Lith-Ex fire extinguisher is manufactured in accordance with BS 6165:2002 for aerosol extinguishers with a three-year lifespan.
