Firechief Lith-Ex Fire Extinguishers

Essential Protection Against Lithium-Ion Battery Fires

What Every Business Needs to Know: Lithium-ion batteries power many of the devices and vehicles we rely on daily, from smartphones and laptops to e-bikes and electric cars. However, these batteries also present significant fire risks when they malfunction or sustain damage.

When lithium-ion batteries fail, the result can be catastrophic. Thermal runaway occurs, creating a chain reaction of rapid overheating caused by heat and pressure build-up. Fires burn at extreme temperatures, releasing flammable hydrogen and toxic gases. In certain conditions, battery cells may even rupture violently, leading to dangerous explosions.

Firechief Lith-Ex: The Proven Solution

Firechief Lith-Ex extinguishers are specifically designed to suppress lithium-ion battery fires, using cutting-edge Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD) technology:

Cools and Contains: A fine mist rapidly cools the fire and prevents re-ignition.
Encapsulates the Hazard: Vermiculite particles create a heat-resistant barrier around burning cells, stopping the fire's spread.
Trusted Protection: Effective for workplaces with electric vehicles, electronics, and battery-powered equipment.
