6 Litre Lith-Ex Fire Extinguisher

With a unique design which makes this easy to spot in an emergency, the 6 litre Lith-Ex fire extinguisher is the only suitable choice when a lithium-ion battery causes a fire. While generally used for portable electronic devices, such as phones and tools, this is suitable for locations where larger batteries are uses, such as electric vehicles, boats and solar energy storage.

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

Perfect for vehicles, aviation, marine, and medical facilities, the lightweight extinguisher has a 13A fire rating for wood, paper, and cloth fires and is safe to use on live electrical equipment up to 1000V. And with a long discharge time of 107 seconds, you’re able to tackle a large fire easily.

At present there is no standard for extinguishing Lithium batteries, however, the 6 litre Lith-Ex fire extinguisher is manufactured by FireChief in accordance with BS EN3, is CE Marked and has a 6 year warranty.
