Lithium Battery Fire Extinguishers are a new class of fire extinguisher designed to tackle small but fiercely hot lithium-ion fires caused by damaged or overheated batteries from mobile phones, tablets and similar devices before they become a full-scale fire.
When the internal partitions of a lithium-ion cell are damaged, it can create a short which leads to an intense fire very rapidly. These are hard to extinguish with traditional fire extinguishers or water. Even when the original fire is extinguished, the cells can heat up again and re-ignite.
The Lithium Battery Fire Extinguisher works by spraying AVD (Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion) compound in a fine water mist. AVD quickly extinguishes the fire and stops the hazardous reaction processes within the cells, while the water acts as a cooling agent. When AVD dries, it forms a thin thermally insulating film that stops the fire re-igniting.
AVD is environmentally friendly and is made from vermiculite, a naturally occurring mineral.
Lithium battery fires can quickly exceed temperatures of 800ºC, and once started can easily spread to other electronic devices and batteries. Until recently, there was no powder or liquid-based fire extinguisher that could tackle the unique hazards of a battery-ion fire.
Unlike standard ABC Fire Extinguishers, the Lithium Battery Extinguisher is better at preventing the reignition of Lithium Battery fires. This means that fires can be extinguished far more efficiently and safely.
They can be used to extinguish fires from personal electronic devices, such as mobile phones and tablets. They can also be used where batteries are charging and being stored, for example:
All of our Lithium Battery Fire Extinguishers use the same AVD technology to extinguish uncontrollable flames, quickly cool the excessive heat and prevent re-ignition.
We have a wide range of sizes of Lithium Battery Fire Extinguishers, from 500ml to the largest 9 Ltr to suit different commercial and industrial applications. The 500ml Lithium Battery Fire Extinguisher, the smallest in our range, is easy to store in compact spaces, making them ideal for offices, hotel rooms, vehicles and domestic settings. Our larger 6 Ltr Lithium Battery Fire Extinguisher and 9 Ltr Lithium Battery Fire Extinguisher are ideal for larger industrial and commercial settings.
All of our Lithium Battery Fire Extinguishers are certified according to European standard EN3-7:2004 and A1:2007, and are designed, tested and manufactured in Europe. In addition, they are all:
The Lithium Battery Fire Extinguishers offer protection against Class A and Electrical type fires, as well as battery fires.
