It stands out due to its unique design, making it easy to spot in case of an emergency. While it is commonly used for portable electronic devices like phones and tools, it is also suitable for locations where larger batteries are present, such as electric vehicles, boats, and solar energy storage facilities.

One of the key features of this fire extinguisher is its non-toxic extinguishing agent called AVD (Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion). When deployed as a mist, AVD creates a film over the surface of the fire, which quickly dries to form an oxygen barrier. This film helps to cool the fire and prevent re-ignition. The Lith-Ex fire extinguisher is the only extinguisher specifically designed for lithium-ion battery fires and is effective even in situations where traditional powder extinguishers may not be suitable.

The extinguisher has a 13A fire rating, which means it is effective against wood, paper, and cloth fires. It is also safe to use on live electrical equipment up to 1000V, making it suitable for a wide range of applications such as vehicles, aviation, marine, and medical facilities. Additionally, the extinguisher has a long discharge time of 107 seconds, allowing for ample time to tackle larger fires.
