Lithium-Ion Battery LFX Fire Extinguisher

Suitable for devices between 300Wh and 900Wh ratings (depending on the size of extinguisher), the high-performing LFX 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.

We will are always happy to advise and if required asses your fire extinguisher needs to ensure you have the correct equipment for your building.

We also hold an Environment Agency Waste Carriers License which enables us to safely dispose of and recycle your old or unwanted fire extinguishers. There are very few companies who hold this license directly, but at Fire and Safety Solutions we feel strongly that we have a responsibility to dispose of fire extinguishers safely and responsibly.
