6 litre Lith-M Fire Extinguisher - Fluorine-Free

Prioritising both safety and sustainability, the 6-litre Lith-M fire extinguisher uses an advanced fluorine-free formula to combat fires effectively while protecting the environment. Manufactured by Vigil Products, the extinguisher is engineered for use on lithium-ion battery fires for batteries up to 750 Wh. It offers peace of mind for eco-conscious users in homes, workplaces, and retail environments.

With an impressive fire rating of 27A 144B 25F, this ABF-rated extinguisher is suitable for solid combustibles, flammable liquids, and cooking oils, all while tackling battery fires with precision. The fluorine-free Lith-M agent not only extinguishes but also actively cools overheated battery cells, halting dangerous chain reactions before they spread.

Its environmentally safe composition does not compromise performance. Housed in a high-strength alloy steel body, the extinguisher is robust yet compact, and its dielectric properties ensure safe deployment near electrical equipment. Certified to EN 3-7 (D.M. 7.1.2005), MED approved, CE Marked and UKCA approved. A responsible choice for a safer, greener future.

Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in devices such as phones, laptops, and other electronic equipment. Our 6-litre Lith-M extinguisher is effective on batteries up to 750 Wh and is specifically engineered to stop thermal runaway, interrupt the chain reaction, and rapidly cool battery temperatures, helping to prevent escalation and injury. For reference, phone batteries usually range from 10–20 Wh, laptops and cordless tools up to 100 Wh, while larger systems, including e-bikes, solar storage units, and industrial batteries, can reach 750 Wh—demonstrating the Lith-M fire extinguisher’s broad fire protection capabilities.

Suitable for shops, offices, warehouses, hotels, schools and other public buildings. Additionally, it is suitable for locations storing flammable liquids.

Types of fire include Class A (wood, paper, cloth, etc), B (flammable liquids), F (cooking oils), and fires involving lithium-ion batteries up to 750Wh. Additionally, it’s safe if inadvertently sprayed on electricals up to 1000V.

Anticipated lifespan with indoor use and proper maintenance - 10 years.

Extinguisher Servicing: Bear in mind that you'll likely need your new 6-litre Lith-M Fire Extinguisher commissioned, and followed by annual servicing. A legal requirement for businesses and rental properties, it’ll often be recommended by your insurance company, too. We offer the option of commissioning only, or with wall fixing, where our local engineer will certify and label the extinguisher before issuing a certificate for your compliance.

Worth remembering - when a refill or test is due, at Simply Extinguishers' prices, a brand-new foam extinguisher costs less than getting one refilled.
