As the uptake of li-ion battery-powered technology, vehicles, toys, power tools, solar management and so much more grows, there is a new consideration to make when storing, charging, and using these items. We strongly recommend always following the manufacturer’s instructions when using such items, and never using a charger not design for the product! Li-Ion batteries can become a fire hazard when exposed to high temperatures, short circuit and/or become damaged. Therefore, store your equipment in cool places where possible, never charge products in a compromised area, such as your phone under your pillow and periodically check batteries for visible damage.

Whether you are looking to add protection against lithium-ion battery fires to your home, vehicle, or workspace, our 4 Litre and 9 Litre Li-Ion Fire extinguishers are a good place to start. Rated for a Li-ion battery capacity of up to 2.4kwh for the 4L and 4.8kwh for the 9L, this option is a practical and affordable way to offer protection against lithium-ion battery fires if they occur. Being water-based, these extinguishers should not be deployed on electrically charged fires over 100V, such as an active power board or power point.
