Lithium Fire Extinguishers
Lithium-ion battery fires present a unique and volatile risk known as thermal runaway, which standard fire safety equipment cannot effectively control. Lithium fire extinguishers are chemically formulated to tackle these intense blazes, which are increasingly common due to the prevalence of mobile phones, laptops, cordless power tools, and electric vehicles. By using specialized agents that rapidly cool the battery cell and create a thermal barrier, these units prevent the fire from propagating and stop re-ignition, a critical capability that water or powder units lack.
Our selection includes compact 500ml aerosols, perfect for keeping in a van or tool kit for immediate response to small device fires, alongside larger 6-litre units designed for substantial protection in commercial environments and workshops. We stock high-performance solutions from Firechief, ensuring you have the specific technology required to secure your premises against modern battery hazards.
