We rely on them every day – phones, laptops, tools, vehicles – often without a second thought. Trusted, essential, and everywhere, they make modern life possible.
But when something goes wrong, these batteries can become a serious and often hidden fire risk. Understanding that risk is the first step to protecting yourself and those around you.
Lithium-ion battery fires behave differently from ordinary fires – they can ignite suddenly, reignite, and spread quickly in the places where these batteries are most common.
Specifically engineered for lithium-ion battery fires, LFX fire extinguishers give the protection you need in any environment – offices, workshops, or industrial sites.

While there currently isn’t a recognised BS EN3 certificate for portable fire extinguishers on the use of lithium-ion battery fires, KIWA and the Royal Netherlands Standardization Institute developed a technical guideline to test the suitability of portable fire extinguishers for lithium-ion battery fires with capacities up to 600 Wh.
We’re extremely proud to announce that our CommanderEDGE LFX 6ltr and 9ltr fire extinguishers are NTA 8133 approved – the 6ltr being the first of it’s size in Europe to achieve this certification!
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.
