Prerequisite when using the fire extinguisher on lithium batteries:
According to tests executed with this fire extinguisher, it's possible to stop the combustion of a lithium-ion battery with a water based fire extinguisher with foam additives. It has been verified that the use of the fire extinguisher allows to lower the temperature and control any re-ignitions of the cells present inside the battery (generated by the chain reaction of the same and due to their shape inside the battery pack). The battery tested has a voltage of 36 V with a capacity of 20.1 Ah and an anergy value of 750 Wh. The fire extinguisher tested is therefore effective in containing the flames emanated from a battery with same or inferior characteristics compared to the one tested.
*NOTE: the test was executed on a new battery and so at full efficiency.
SAFETY WARNING:
The combustion of lithium-ion batteries realeses very harmful gases and fumes.
Direct exposure to high concentrations of gases emanating from the combustion of lithium-ion batteries can cause serious damage to health. Lithium-ion batteries can have unpredictable phenomenons during fire, such as explosive reactions caused by the pressure of the cells inside the battery pack. it's advisable to use appropriate safety devices.The use of fire extinguisher is recommended for professional and expert staff. The use of fire extinguisher by uninformed people can lead to lower results and cause damage to
involved people.
