Fire extinguisher effective against lipos

[Hector_Fisher]

This is genuinely one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. Most CO2 or powder fire extinguishers struggle to put out even small lipo fires. It's nice to see their are products that actively suppress further reactions on an exploding Lipo. Considering picking one of these up for piece of mind in addition to the precautions I already take.

Thank you for sharing!

I'll be getting a couple.

Same here, gonna get a few cans for the batteries and my OHRV.

For storage, I use an ammo can with the gasket removed. Cool to see a slow-mo of it in action.

I keep a small bucket of sand just incase of when S H T F situations arise.

I remember the Tesla that spontaneously combusted last year taking an estimated 6000 gallons of water from firefighters. All part of the libtards plan for green initiatives

I'm paranoid about fires so I use multiple layers of suppression. My lipos get double bagged in lipo bags, then put into an ammo can. I'll still buy one of these extinguishers, just in case a lipo fire happens while battery is in a rig.

I’ll check out their website, thanks for sharing! I would have guessed they were little halon cans, but he said they didn’t damage plastics so I don’t know.
There are halon fire systems for track cars that work brilliantly, but if it isn’t cleaned up immediately it will trash anything plastic or vinyl that it comes in contact with.

Here in the UK:
I have this at hand in my shed and in my pit-bag.

Also have a larger LIPO-capable extinguisher at home:

I need to pick up a few cans of that… great price also!
I keep all my batteries in lipo bags, inside ammo cans (gasket removed) in my fireplace… I also have a fire blanket (not the tinfoil type) to help suppress any fires, or for personal protection from removing the battery or trying to evade the flames! Haha

I tattoo a few fire fighters… they said when they get a call for a Tesla fire, they dread it… said they just try and move it away from anything and let it burn… they have buried one and it was still flaring up 3 days later….

ordered 3, expensive AF but worth if it handles a lipo

Our fire department had a water container made to submerge burning electric cars. They just leave them in there for at least two days. They have to top up the water level multiple times as it evaporates from boiling.

So insane…. Scary to say the least!

Smart.
At least they're not wasting 15-20K gallons from it running down the drain..

Guess Tesla need to include two or three bottles of that Fire Sense fire extinguisher with each sale!

35$ a can ooo. Pricey but if it works! Cool Product, thanks for sharing.

So EV's don't catch fire nearly as often as ICE vehicles but when they do? oof.

I do like the idea of vehicles being powered by more of an "on-demand" energy source that can be replenished from regenerative braking and such. Hopefully electric cars will push the development of an even better power/storage source.

One thing is for sure, can't beat the sound of a true V8 or VQ .

Agreed, that's what I thought at first. But hey, ideally you should never need to use it right? But when you do, I'm sure you'd appreciate that $35 as a pretty darn good investment. Same with my two $20 ammo cans.

 

[eyeopenher]

I really don’t think the price is that bad especially it being able to be used on a lipo efficiently…. class D fire extinguishers are hella expensive…. The fire fighters I know said the ABC ones will not work on our lipos… So these are much cheaper then one of them. And the size let’s you have them in a few different places instead of one big tank in one area…

these are just my thoughts. $35 to possibly save my house? I’m in!

 

[Metaalhoofd]

I kinda hear and read contradicting things about lipo batteries. Some sites say that class D don't work on LiPo batteries, because it's the electrolyte that's burning and not the metal Lithium and say you rather need ABC/ABF with F-500. Other sites say that you need a class D and ABC/ABF won't work

I love this guy

 

[eyeopenher]

So I just had my yearly fire inspection and then my fire extinguisher inspection… got to talking with the inspector and said this is what they sell for the new batteries in cars, bikes, lipos... He’s into rc’s himself and said this is the best option just expensive… I showed him the one from amain and said he’s heard good things about those type for lipos.

It will be interesting to see how solid state batteries will temper the safety issues of Lithium Ion.
