Introducing the Lithco LB6 lithium-ion battery fire extinguisher by UltraFire – a powerful solution rigorously tested to handle the unique challenges posed by lithium-ion battery fires. These batteries, commonly known as li-ion or lith-ion, are popular for their high-capacity energy storage and advanced recharge capabilities. Despite the safety features integrated into modern batteries and chargers, failures can still occur. In the case of lithium-ion batteries, such failures can lead to intense fires that emit hazardous fumes.
Lithium-ion batteries are typically housed in plastic casings, like those found in power tools and walkie-talkies, or are sealed within devices such as laptops, power banks, and backup power units. The Lithco LB6 extinguisher uses a specially formulated additive that effectively penetrates cracks and openings created by fire, thanks to its optimized balance of low surface tension and viscosity. This formulation also ensures the additive remains in place long enough to maximize its heat absorption and dispersion properties, reducing the risk of fire spread and re-ignition within individual battery cells.

Important Note: Portable fire extinguishers, including the Lithco LB6, are not currently recommended for use on electric vehicle battery fires due to the inaccessibility of the batteries in most vehicle designs, which poses significant risks to users.
The Lithco LB6 by UltraFire provides peace of mind with its reliable performance and advanced formulation, specifically designed to combat the complex nature of lithium-ion battery fires.
