Lithium-ion battery fire extinguishers with AVD technology
Lithium-ion batteries store a high amount of energy in a compact space and are now widely used in electric vehicles, e-bikes, power tools, UPS systems, battery storage and other electrical equipment. When a damaged, overheated or improperly charged battery enters thermal runaway, the resulting fire can be difficult to control and may spread from cell to cell.
Our AVD (Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion) lithium-ion battery fire extinguishers use a water-based extinguishing agent containing vermiculite particles. The agent helps cool the battery and forms a protective layer over the burning surface, making AVD a dedicated option for lithium-ion battery fire risks.
Munshi Fire Safety supplies AVD lithium-ion fire extinguishers in 1 Ltr, 2 Ltr, 6 Ltr and 9 Ltr capacities for industrial, commercial and battery-related applications. Contact us to discuss the appropriate capacity and fire-safety requirements for your site.

Enquire About AVD ExtinguishersHow AVD helps control lithium-ion battery fires
- 1
Discharge the AVD agent
The extinguisher discharges the water-based AVD agent as a fine spray or mist onto the burning battery and surrounding fire area.
- 2
Cool the battery
The water content absorbs heat as it evaporates, helping reduce the temperature of the burning battery and surrounding materials.
- 3
Create a protective layer
Vermiculite particles settle over the surface and form a non-flammable protective film that helps isolate the burning material from the surrounding air.
Lithium-ion batteries can reignite even after visible flames have been extinguished. Keep cooling the battery, maintain a safe distance and call the fire service. Do not leave a damaged or burning battery unattended.
Where lithium-ion fire extinguishers are used
Factories & industrial facilities
Battery handling areas, production facilities, maintenance areas, charging stations and industrial workplaces using lithium-powered equipment.
Offices & commercial buildings
Areas containing UPS systems, battery backups, laptops, power banks, charging equipment and other lithium-ion powered devices.
EV & e-bike charging areas
Electric vehicle charging points, e-bike charging areas, fleet facilities, parking areas and workshops handling electric mobility equipment.
Battery storage & workshops
Battery storage rooms, repair workshops, battery service areas and locations where lithium-ion batteries are stored, charged or handled.
AVD extinguishers are intended for environments where lithium-ion battery fire risks are present. Site-specific fire-safety requirements should be assessed before selecting equipment.
Why lithium-ion batteries can catch fire
Thermal runaway+
When a lithium-ion cell experiences uncontrolled heat generation, its temperature can rise rapidly and trigger further reactions inside the battery.
Physical damage+
Crushing, puncturing, impact or other physical damage can compromise a cell and potentially create an internal short circuit.
Overcharging or electrical faults+
Incorrect charging conditions, damaged charging equipment or electrical faults can cause abnormal heat generation inside a battery.
Manufacturing or cell defects+
Internal defects, contamination or weaknesses within a cell can increase the risk of an internal short circuit and subsequent heating.
What to do when a lithium-ion battery catches fire
Raise the alarm and keep people away from the affected area. If it is safe and appropriate to do so, use the available fire extinguisher to control the flames and continue cooling the battery. Maintain a safe distance and call the fire service. Do not assume that a battery is safe simply because the visible flames have stopped, because a lithium-ion battery can reignite.

Lithium-ion fire extinguisher FAQs
What is an AVD lithium-ion fire extinguisher?
An AVD lithium-ion fire extinguisher uses Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion, a water-based extinguishing agent containing vermiculite particles. It is designed for fire risks involving lithium-ion batteries and also carries the fire ratings and applications stated on the individual extinguisher label.
What does AVD stand for?
AVD stands for Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion. The agent is water-based and contains vermiculite particles that help form a protective layer over the burning material while the water component helps remove heat.
What sizes of AVD lithium-ion fire extinguishers are available?
The current AVD lithium-ion extinguisher range includes 1 Ltr, 2 Ltr, 6 Ltr and 9 Ltr models. The appropriate capacity depends on the application, fire risk and site requirements.
Where can AVD lithium-ion fire extinguishers be used?
They can be considered for locations where lithium-ion batteries are stored, charged or used, including industrial facilities, battery storage areas, workshops, EV and e-bike charging areas, offices and locations containing UPS or battery backup systems.
Can a lithium-ion battery reignite after the fire appears to be extinguished?
Yes. Lithium-ion batteries can retain significant heat and may reignite after visible flames have been controlled. Continue cooling the battery, keep people at a safe distance and contact the fire service.
Are these extinguishers suitable for electrical equipment?
The AVD products in this range are described in the product specifications as suitable for Class A, electrical and lithium-ion battery applications. Always check the individual extinguisher label and product specifications for the exact application before use.
Which AVD extinguisher capacity should I choose?
The correct capacity depends on the battery type, quantity, installation, surrounding fire load and site-specific risk assessment. For industrial or commercial applications, contact Munshi Fire Safety so the available capacities can be discussed against your application.
