CommanderEDGE LFX Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Extinguisher

As the world evolves, the way we live evolves, which means fire safety measures need to be one step ahead of new risks, always. With statistics showing lithium-ion battery fires having quadrupled in number since 2020, our extinguisher manufacturer has been working behind the scenes on an important range of fire extinguishers, specifically designed to tackle the unique dangers posed by lithium-ion battery fires.

DISCOVER THE LFX RANGE

Designed and developed to specifically tackle the unique risks of lithium-ion battery fires, CommanderEDGE LFX Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Extinguisher works instantly to create a fire safe scene.

Part of The Green Range, this fire extinguisher is completely fluorine-free and fiercely tackles the unique risks of lithium-ion battery fires. 

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.

Which LFX fire extinguisher is right for you?

The Watt-hour (Wh) rating of a battery is a critical factor in determining the appropriate LFX fire extinguisher. As the Wh rating increases, so do the potential fire risks, as well as the size of the fire extinguisher required.

Available sizes:

•    3L - Suitable for devices up to 300Wh ratings, this compact yet high-performing fire extinguisher is ideal for environments with mobile phones and laptops (such as schools, offices, or repair stores), workshops using cordless drills, and homes where items such as smart tablets are in use.
•   6L – Suitable for devices up to 600Wh ratings for areas such as supermarkets and hoverboards
•   9L – Suitable for devices up to 900Wh ratings such as electric bikes and electric scooters
