6ltr LFX Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Extinguisher

Designed and developed to specifically tackle the unique risks of lithium-ion battery fires, the CommanderEDGE LFX 6ltr Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Extinguisher works instantly to create a fire safe scene.

Part of The Green Range, this six-litre fire extinguisher fiercely tackles the unique risks of lithium-ion battery fire. It’s completely fluorine-free, with an NTA 8133 fire extinguisher certification that proves its reliability and effectiveness in extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires.

Suitable for devices up to 600Wh ratings, our compact yet high-performing fire extinguisher is ideal for environments such as supermarkets, which house large amounts of lithium-ion-powered scanners, as well as homes with devices such as hoverboards.

Using a water-based agent that discharges as an endothermic foam, LFX quickly breaks down the chain reaction in thermal runaway and cools the temperature of the batteries, absorbing significantly more heat than water alone. It also protects from secondary A-class fires, extinguishing any ‘peripheral’ fires potentially caused by exploding batteries. 

With the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 now recognising that lithium-ion batteries need to be considered in all fire risk assessments in the UK, there has never been a better time to stock up on this innovative solution and stay prepared.

Lithium-ion batteries are now used in a large number of operational work equipment as well as in smartphones, but at the same time involve explosion and fire risks. Triggers can include increased operating temperatures, direct heat radiation or even a defective cooling circuit.

Only suitable fire extinguishers containing extinguishing agents with a high cooling effect may be used for fire fighting. Professional associations such as the DGUV and the bvfa recommend water as extinguishing agent, if necessary with additives. Other extinguishing agents, such as ABC or BC powder, metal fire powder or carbon dioxide (CO2) must not be used! The warning and safety instructions on the corresponding extinguishing equipment must also be observed.
Since lithium batteries can re-ignite even after a longer period of time, they must be stored safely in water basins or other suitable containers after extinguishing. This container must be stored outside the building and away from other fire risks until it can be disposed of properly.
