Lithium-ion batteries are now everywhere — from phones and laptops to e-bikes, electric scooters, power tools and portable power stations. When a damaged or overheated lithium-ion battery enters thermal runaway, conventional extinguishers may not provide the cooling required to control the fire and prevent further propagation.
The Firechief Lith-Ex G2 1L is specifically designed to tackle fires involving lithium-ion batteries.
Its AVD (Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion) extinguishing agent is discharged as a fine mist, helping to rapidly cool the battery and form a protective thermal barrier around the cells. This helps prevent the fire from spreading and reduces the risk of re-ignition.
The compact 1-litre format makes it particularly suitable for homes, garages, workshops, offices and locations where small lithium-ion battery devices are regularly charged or stored.
It is ideal for protecting against fires involving:
The Lith-Ex G2 has been tested against several lithium-ion battery chemistries, including LFP, NMC, LCO, NMC/LCO and NCA.
Made in Britain • CE & UKCA marked • 5-year guarantee
Important: This extinguisher is designed for use on lithium-ion battery fires, particularly small portable battery-powered devices. It should only be used by a person who has a safe escape route and is trained or confident to use a fire extinguisher. If a lithium-ion battery is smoking, swelling or showing signs of thermal runaway, evacuate the area and call the emergency services if it is unsafe to intervene.
Developed specifically for lithium-ion battery fire applications rather than relying on a conventional extinguisher.
The AVD mist helps rapidly remove heat from the battery and surrounding area.
The agent encapsulates the fuel source and provides insulation around the cells, helping to prevent thermal runaway spreading to adjacent cells.
Small enough to keep readily accessible in the home, garage, workshop or office.
Testing includes LFP, NMC, LCO, NMC/LCO and NCA battery types.
Manufactured in Britain according to the current manufacturer datasheet.
