Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Extinguishers
The FireShield LFX Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Extinguisher is a fluorine-free solution designed specifically to tackle fires involving lithium-ion batteries. Available in 3 litre, 6 litre and 9 litre capacities, every model is UKCA/CE approved, manufactured to BS EN 3 standards, and supplied with a 5-year warranty. The 6 litre and 9 litre models also hold NTA 8133 certification, providing additional assurance of their performance against lithium-ion battery fires.
Ideal for environments where lithium-ion batteries are in regular use, these extinguishers are well suited to offices, schools, retail premises, workshops, repair centres, warehouses, supermarkets and residential properties. They are particularly beneficial in locations where e-bikes, e-scooters, hoverboards, cordless power tools, laptops, tablets and other rechargeable devices are stored or charged.
The extinguisher uses an advanced water-based extinguishing agent that is discharged as an endothermic foam. This rapidly cools overheating battery cells, interrupts the thermal runaway process and absorbs significantly more heat than water alone. In addition to suppressing battery fires, it is also effective against surrounding Class A combustible materials, helping to prevent secondary fires caused by burning or exploding battery packs.
To ensure the correct level of protection, the range is available for lithium-ion battery-powered devices rated up to 300Wh with the 3-litre model and up to 600Wh with the 6 litre and 9 litre models.

Frequently asked questions
FireShield LFX Lithium-Ion Fire Extinguishers use a specially formulated water-based extinguishing agent to combat fires involving lithium-ion batteries. When discharged, the agent forms an endothermic foam that rapidly absorbs heat, helping to lower the temperature of the affected battery cells.
By cooling the batteries, the extinguisher interrupts the thermal runaway process, reducing the risk of the fire spreading to neighbouring cells. This helps prevent further battery failures and minimises the chance of additional explosions.
As well as tackling lithium-ion battery fires, the FireShield LFX extinguisher is also effective against Class A combustible materials, allowing it to extinguish secondary fires involving wood, paper, textiles and other solid combustibles that may ignite as a result of a battery fire.
Lithium-ion fire extinguishers are commonly identified by green markings. On the FireShield LFX range, the green colour is incorporated into the extinguisher's label and handle, making it easy to distinguish from other types of fire extinguishers during routine inspections or emergency situations.
LFX Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Extinguishers are designed specifically for lithium-ion battery fires while providing protection against secondary Class A fires, such as burning paper, wood, or plastics caused by battery explosions and lithium-ion battery fires.
The 6ltr and 9ltr models are NTA 8133 certified for performance on lithium-ion battery fires.
