FireChief Lith-Ex Fire Extinguisher - Wheeled
from
INC VAT
Code: FCLX001/011
A fire in a lithium-ion battery can occur due to physical damage leading to a short circuit, overcharging, high external temperatures, or manufacturing defects. The Firechief Lith-Ex extinguisher is equipped with Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD), an innovative fire suppressant agent.
The risk of lithium-ion battery fires grows more common with the rising use of these batteries in various consumer and industrial products. The FireChief Lith-Ex extinguisher is specifically designed for compact spaces where it is crucial to suppress fires in their early stages before they escalate.
This wheeled extinguisher is also valuable for safeguarding larger areas where batteries are being charged or stored, such as goods distribution centres, recycling facilities, public service locations, and battery charging stations.
Easy to use and transport, this extinguisher is an ideal choice when you need to tackle lithium-ion battery fires quickly and efficiently.

Lithium-ion batteries have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their high energy density and long cycle life. This makes them ideal for use in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems. However, when these batteries malfunction, they can be an extremely dangerous fire hazard.
Lithium battery fires can be difficult to extinguish for several reasons. One of the primary reasons is that these batteries contain a large amount of stored energy, which can be released rapidly in the event of a short circuit or other malfunction. This can cause the battery to reach high temperatures, and the heat generated by the fire can ignite nearby materials.
Additionally, lithium-ion batteries contain flammable electrolytes, which can ignite and burn when exposed to heat or flame. These electrolytes can also react with water to release flammable gases, which can further fuel the fire.
Finally, the structure of lithium-ion batteries can make it difficult for fire suppression agents to penetrate and extinguish the fire. The battery cells are tightly packed together and often have multiple layers of protective casing, which can make it hard for firefighters to get water or other extinguishing agents to the source of the fire.
As a result of these factors, lithium battery fires can be particularly challenging to extinguish and may require specialised equipment and techniques to effectively put out the fire.

Fire Protection Shop specialise in the supply of high-quality fire extinguishers. There are many different classifications of fire and so our products include a variety of different extinguisher types. For example, we offer water or foam fire extinguishers for solid combustibles and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers for flammable liquid or electrical fires. Each extinguishing agent comes with its benefits. Typically, water extinguishers are cheaper, produce a cooling effect and prevent reignition once the fire has been extinguished. Carbon dioxide extinguishers are clean agents, they leave no residue, are suitable for electrical fires and are often used on liquid fires which include petrol, oil or other solvents.
In addition to our extinguishers, we offer a range of fire safety products to both domestic and commercial premises. This includes the supply of fire blankets, extinguisher stands, smoke alarms, first aid kits and much more. Our entire range is sourced from reputable brand manufacturers at competitive prices. Also, all of our products carry a full warranty and guarantee and are supplied with relevant fixings where applicable.
So, for fire extinguishers, alarms and all your other fire safety needs, trust Fire Protection Shop to give you the quality, expertise and service you require.
