FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Why do I need a specific extinguisher for lithium-ion batteries?
Standard extinguishers don’t work on lithium-ion fires. Only Lith-Ex stops thermal runaway, cools the cells, and prevents re-ignition. If you rely on batteries, you need the right protection – don’t risk finding out too late.
2. Will having a Lith-Ex extinguisher help with insurance compliance?
Yes. More insurers now require lithium-specific protection in warehouses, factories, and homes with inverters or solar storage. Having Lith-Ex on-site not only reduces fire risk – it also protects your insurance cover. Stay compliant, stay covered.
3. Should I keep a Lith-Ex extinguisher at home?
Absolutely. From laptops and phones to power banks and solar batteries, lithium devices are in every household. A Lith-Ex extinguisher gives you and your family the peace of mind that you can act fast if one overheats. Protect your home today.
4. Do I need one in my vehicle or for overlanding?
Yes – especially if you travel with lithium gear like camping fridges, power packs, drones, or e-bikes. A vehicle fire in the bush could leave you stranded or worse. Carrying a compact Lith-Ex extinguisher means you’re ready for anything.
5. What sizes are available for different needs?
From portable 500ml and 1L units for cars and homes, to 9L, 25L, and 50L models for warehouses and industrial sites – there’s a Lith-Ex extinguisher for every risk. Choose the size that fits your environment and don’t leave gaps in your safety.
6. How often should my extinguisher be serviced?
Just like any safety equipment, annual servicing is essential. Not only does this keep your unit ready for use, it also keeps you aligned with health & safety and insurance requirements. Book your service – don’t risk a lapse in cover.
7. Can Lith-Ex stop a fire from spreading?
Yes. AVD technology encapsulates burning cells and prevents thermal runaway, stopping one battery fire from igniting others. One extinguisher can save your entire warehouse or vehicle load. Don’t let one device put everything at risk.
8. Is it safe to use indoors?
Yes. Lith-Ex is non-toxic, environmentally safe, and won’t harm your equipment. Unlike some extinguishers, it’s safe for confined spaces. Protect your assets without adding damage.
9. Which industries should use Lith-Ex?
Any operation relying on lithium-ion powered equipment – warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, mining, automotive. If you’re charging forklifts or storing large battery banks, Lith-Ex is no longer optional – it’s essential. Secure your workplace and workforce today.
10. Do Lith-Ex extinguishers meet international standards?
Yes – Lith-Ex extinguishers are tested, certified, and globally recognised as the safest solution for lithium-ion fires. Trusted worldwide, they give you compliance and confidence. Don’t compromise – insist on certified protection.
