Firebox's new Li-Ion Fire Solution extinguisher, Certified to Australian Standards and available in 4L & 9L portable and wheeled fire extinguishers. Our Li-Ion Fire Solution is Fluorine Free, rated for A, B and F fires, and suitable for use on Lithium-Ion battery fires. It performs extraordinarily well on combustible materials that output extremely high temperatures as well. 

Lithium-Ion batteries are widely used in electronic devices, including Tablets, Mobile Phones, Laptops, Power tools, Electric/Hybrid vehicles, Caravans/Motorhomes, Marine vessels, Emergency Lights, Recharge Stations, Public Transports, Mining vehicles and Solar system batteries, etc.
The LI-ion Fire Solution extinguisher is a water-type fire extinguisher with the F-500 Encapsulator agent. This Extinguisher has been manufactured and approved to Australian Standard 1841.2. Extensive testing has been performed, and this cooling agent performs exceptionally well against lithium-Ion Battery Fires.

We encourage you to discuss your individual fire needs with your Fire Service provider to ensure that you are covered for all Fire-types not just Lithium-Ion Battery Fires. Our 4L Extinguisher has been tested on a 2.4kWh Li-ion battery fire. Our 9L Lithium-Ion Fire Extinguisher has been tested on a 4.8KWh, Lithium-Ion battery.

This Extinguisher is not for use on 240V/10A or higher voltage Electrical Fires.

Lithium-ion batteries are extremely sensitive to high temperatures and can become inherently flammable. Overcharged, overheated, short-circuited and damaged Li-ion batteries have the potential to catch fire or explosion and might cause widespread damage.
How does F-500 (Lithium-Ion Fire Solution) work differently from an ABE/DCP Extinguisher on Lithium-Ion Battery Fires? Lithium-ion batteries burn at an extremely high temperature. The key to stopping a Lithium-ion battery fire is to quickly remove the heat and stop the reaction of the electrode material with other components of the battery. F-500 Encapsulator Agent provides a perfect solution for both scenarios.

Most foam or powder-type fire extinguishers only work for 2D fires, which can only be applied to a flat surface as the extinguishant cannot adhere to vertical or other angular surfaces. However, the F-500 agent can penetrate inside the structure of a battery, thus successfully extinguishing the type of fire.
