Lithium Battery Fire Protection
Mechanical Extinguishers & Rapid-Response Suppression
Lithium-ion battery fires behave differently from traditional fires.
They escalate rapidly, release extreme heat, and can re-ignite through thermal runaway.
ZUFF® Fire Protection delivers a layered lithium-fire response system, combining:
ZUFF™ LIION 350ml
immediate, non-pressurised fire suppression
ZUFF™ LIION PRO
certified mechanical lithium-ion fire extinguishers
Together, they provide faster response, safer control, and reduced escalation risk.
Why Lithium Fires Need Specialist Protection
Lithium-ion fires
- Generate their own oxygen during failure
- Burn at extreme temperatures
- Can re-ignite minutes or hours after suppression
- Produce toxic and corrosive smoke
Traditional water, CO₂, and powder extinguishers are often ineffective against these characteristics.
Effective lithium fire protection must:
- Cool rapidly
- Interrupt thermal runaway
- Suppress flame spread
- Be safe around live electrical systems

ZUFF™ LIION 350ml
Rapid-Response Fire Suppressant
Rapid-Response Fire Suppressant (Non-Pressurised)
ZUFF™ LIION 350 is a fire suppressant, not a fire extinguisher.
It is designed for immediate action when lithium battery fires ignite suddenly and time is critical.
Key Characteristics
- 350 ml non-pressurised doypack
- Throw-on or spray-on application
- No pin, no pressure, no activation delay

These environments benefit most from layered lithium-fire protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ZUFF™ LIION fire extinguisher?
The ZUFF™ LIION is an advanced fire extinguisher specifically engineered to suppress lithium-ion battery fires and other high-risk fire classes. Unlike standard extinguishers, it uses a specialised suppressant to cool the source, interrupt thermal runaway, and reduce the risk of reignition — making it ideal for environments with lithium-ion powered equipment such as e-vehicles, industrial batteries, data centers, and consumer electronics.
How is the ZUFF™ LIION different from traditional fire extinguishers?
Traditional fire extinguishers, such as water, foam, or CO₂ models, are not effective on lithium-ion battery fires, as they do not reliably stop the thermal runaway process that causes re-ignition. The ZUFF LIION is formulated to rapidly cool, inhibit chemical reactions, and prevent re-ignition, offering superior performance on modern battery-related fires.
What types of fires does the ZUFF™ LIION handle?
The ZUFF LIION is designed for:
- Lithium-ion battery fires (thermal runaway)
- Class A (ordinary combustibles like wood and paper)
- Class B (flammable liquids)
- Class C (electrical fires)
- Additional hazardous fire risks common in industrial and commercial settings
Always follow safety instructions and only use the extinguisher on fires within its intended scope.
Why are lithium-ion battery fires so dangerous?
Lithium-ion battery fires are challenging because of a phenomenon called thermal runaway — a self-sustaining chemical reaction that generates intense heat and releases flammable gases. Conventional extinguisher media may put out visible flames but cannot reliably stop this internal reaction, leading to a high risk of reignition.
How do I use the ZUFF™ LIION fire extinguisher safely?
- Pull the safety pin
- Aim at the base of the fire
- Squeeze the handle to discharge
- Sweep the nozzle across the fire source
Only attempt to use on small, contained fires. If the fire cannot be controlled quickly, evacuate and call emergency services first.
Is the ZUFF™ LIION extinguisher safe for indoor and industrial use?
Yes — the ZUFF LIION is developed to be safe for indoor commercial environments, workshops, industrial sites, EV charging stations, data centers, and facilities with battery-powered equipment. Its agent is designed to minimise toxic residues and damage to nearby electronics compared to traditional powder or foam agents.
How should I store and maintain my ZUFF LIION extinguisher?
- Store in an accessible location free from extreme heat or freezing.
- Follow the included service and inspection schedule.
- Recharge or replace after any use, even partial discharge.
- Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance when needed.
Can the ZUFF™ LIION extinguisher be serviced or refilled?
Yes — your ZUFF LIION extinguisher should be serviced according to local fire safety guidelines. Regular inspection and professional servicing ensure pressure integrity and suppressant effectiveness.
Do building codes or safety standards require lithium-ion fire extinguishers?
While specific laws vary by region and use case, there is growing industry recognition that environments with significant lithium-ion battery risk should be equipped with specialised fire suppression equipment. Many insurers and standards bodies increasingly recommend or require appropriate extinguishers tailored to lithium battery hazards.
Can I use the ZUFF™ LIION on other types of fires?
The ZUFF LIION is formulated for a wide range of fire risks, but you should always consult the product label and fire safety guidelines before using it on specific fire classes outside lithium-ion and standard combustible fires.
