P50-AVD Extinguisher: Protect Against Lithium-Ion Battery Fires

27-02-2026


Lithium-ion batteries power everything from smartphones and e-scooters to industrial energy storage systems. While they’ve transformed modern life, they also present a unique fire risk. Traditional extinguishers often struggle with these fires – which is where the P50-AVD extinguisher comes in.

Advanced AVD Technology for Lithium-Ion Fires

The P50-AVD uses Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD), a certified extinguishing agent designed specifically for lithium-ion battery fires. It also works on Class A fires, including wood, paper, and textiles, and is safe for use on live electrical equipment up to 1000V. With an operational temperature range of +5°C to +60°C, it’s built to handle real-world conditions.

Key Benefits

  • Designed for lithium-ion battery fires
  • 20-year corrosion guarantee
  • 10-year manufacturing warranty
  • Lightweight and easy to operate
  • No annual engineer service required
  • Durable aramid fibre construction
  • Recyclable and long-lasting

Simple In-House Maintenance

Maintaining the P50-AVD is straightforward – no specialist engineer needed:

  • Check the indicator (red = return to supplier).
  • Ensure the tamper seal is intact.
  • Wipe off dust and inspect the base.
  • Test both gauges with the magnet.
  • Confirm operational lifespan via colour-coded stud.
  • Record inspection in the logbook.

This approach saves time and cost while keeping the extinguisher fully operational.

Ideal for High-Risk Environments

The P50-AVD extinguisher is perfect for:

  • Battery charging facilities and e-scooter hubs
  • Tech and electronics workshops
  • Warehouses with energy storage systems
  • Industrial sites using battery-powered machinery

Its lightweight, corrosion-resistant design ensures it’s easy to deploy wherever fire risk is highest.

A Smart Investment in Fire Safety

The P50-AVD provides:

  • Effective suppression of lithium-ion and Class A fires
  • Safe use on live electrical equipment
  • Sustainable and recyclable materials
  • Cost-effective, low-maintenance operation

For businesses prioritising modern fire safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility, the P50-AVD is a clear choice.
