50L Lith-Ex Lithium Battery Fire Extinguisher Trolley

Maximum-Capacity Lithium-Ion Fire Protection for High-Risk Environments

The 50-litre Lith-Ex AVD fire extinguisher trolley is the largest unit in our range, designed specifically for the most dangerous and high-energy lithium-ion battery fire scenarios. Manufactured in the UK, this trolley system uses advanced Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD) technology to deliver rapid, controlled fire suppression, cooling, and containment of large-format lithium battery fires.

Due to the hazardous nature of the applications and the potential scale of thermal runaway events, this extinguisher should only be operated by trained personnel, such as fire and rescue services, emergency response teams, and qualified professionals.

Known Application Uses for the 50L Lith-Ex Trolley:

  • Electric Vehicles (EVs): Large battery packs powering electric cars, buses, vans, and trucks.
  • Battery Energy Storage Systems (ESS): Grid-scale lithium-ion storage systems from hundreds of kWh to multi-MWh.
  • Electric Buses & Commercial Fleets: High-voltage battery arrays used in public transport and logistics.
  • Aircraft & Aerospace Prototypes: Lithium battery fires in experimental electric and hybrid aircraft.
  • Industrial Lithium Battery Banks: Found in factories, data centres, and backup power systems.
  • Marine Applications: Hybrid-electric propulsion systems in large vessels and commercial marine fleets.
  • Battery Testing Facilities: R&D and quality control labs where failure modes may trigger thermal runaway.

The 50L Lith-Ex unit offers high-volume discharge capacity, ideal for large fire load incidents involving lithium-ion technology. The integrated wheeled trolley makes deployment faster and more manageable in challenging conditions. It’s a vital resource for professional responders dealing with high-risk battery incidents.

Important: This unit is intended for use by trained fire and emergency service personnel only. Incorrect use in uncontrolled environments may present serious hazards.

All Lith-Ex extinguishers are proudly designed, tested, and manufactured in the UK, ensuring world-class performance and reliability.
