CommanderEDGE LFX Lithium-ion Battery Fire Extinguisher Range

CheckFire Group Stand: 4/G30
LFX fire extinguishers are designed for our changing world, to provide a safe means of escape during a lithium-ion battery fire. With 1,330 fires attended by the UK fire services in 2024 linked to lithium-ion batteries, adequate fire safety prevention for these fires is essential.

Our range of LFX fire extinguishers is fluorine and PFAS-free, following our commitment to sustainability and safer fire protection for our customers. LFX fire extinguishers work in the following way:

  1.  Puts out flames: LFX is an effective water-based fire extinguishing agent that is excellent at putting out flames.
  2.  Absorbs heat fast: breaking down the chain reaction in thermal runaway and preventing other cells from heating while effectively cooling cells that have already ignited and others that have not yet exploded.
  3.  Protects from secondary Class A fires: that have been caused by the exploding batteries.

Currently, there is no BS EN3 certificate for portable fire extinguishers for lithium-ion batteries, but we have developed our fire extinguishers to be NTA 8133 approved. This technical guideline by KIWA and the Royal Netherlands Standardisation Institute provides a test for portable fire extinguishers for lithium-ion battery fires with capacities up to 600 Wh.
