Fire extinguishers for lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion battery fire should be extinguishedwith
specially designed fire extinguishers with strong
cooling effect. Cooling down the cells canslow down
heat transferto other cells and preventthermal
runaway spread in the other cells.
Fire extinguishers with class AB can be used for
preventing external fire from spreading to nearby
materials, but capability of putting out Li-ion battery fire
is limited.
If specially designed fire extinguisher is not
available,large amount of water should be used to
cool down the battery and to extinguish the batteryfire.
