Lithium-ion Battery Fire Extinguishers

High performance fire extinguishers designed to stop Lithium-ion battery fires fast

Lithium-ion batteries present a more frequent fire hazard each day as the number of consumer and industrial goods powered by them increases. 

Firechief Lith-Ex extinguishers are suited to confined spaces where fires need to be suppressed in their infancy before developing into a fully established fire.

They can also be used to protect against fires where batteries are under charge and where batteries are stored, for example, goods distribution, battery collection bins, battery recycling locations, public services, battery charging stations, vehicle manufacturers and Electric vehicle dealerships.

Firechief Lith-Ex fire extinguishers contain Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD), a revolutionary fire extinguishing agent. 

The water content of the fire extinguisher cools the fire source, while the Vermiculite platelets encapsulate the fuel source creating a thermal barrier to prevent propagation of the fire. 

The Vermiculite film is not electrically conductive. AVD is nearly twice as effective as water on a Class A fires and is environmentally friendly.
