The only portable extinguishers suitable for extinguishing Li-Ion High-voltage traction batteries.

Bonpet portable fire extinguishers are used, for the extinguishing of initial fires.

Can be used in accordance with their relevant certifications and the stated minimum extinguishing capabilities for all known fire categories (A “solid fuels”, B “liquid fuels”, F “cooking oils and fats”, as well as for live electrical circuits up to 1000 volts).

Suitable for extinguishing Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery fires.

• Human and environmentally friendly.
• 2-year warranty and 20-life span, if properly maintained.
• European products, manufactured in Slovenia.

Function                 

Portable fire extinguishers are pressure equipment, and their maximum operational life is 20 years, for use under normal conditions and stresses, and in non-corrosive environments.

If the limits are exceeded, the lifespan of the fire extinguisher may be drastically reduced.
It should be used with care, and the user should regularly check the indication of the pressure gauge to ensure it is within the green operating area. In any case where the pressure gauge indication is outside the green area, please contact the authorized service provider or our dealership immediately for instructions.

Each Bonpet portable fire extinguisher is accompanied by the relevant Declaration of Conformity, as well as the manufacturer’s instructions for use and maintenance in both Greek and English.

However, we kindly ask that you read them immediately, before its use becomes impossible. Read them now, because it may be too late afterward!

Maintenance                 

Maintenance of portable fire extinguishers has to be done in fixed time schedules by an “expert”, or skilled person following National and European laws. Instructions for service and maintenance must be strictly followed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction.

Technical characteristics

ATTENTION!!!!

What we need to know about the capacity of lithium batteries.

The capacity of lithium batteries refers to the amount of energy they can store and provide. The suitability of the capacity depends on the application and energy efficiency requirements of each device or vehicle.

It is measured in Watt-hours (Wh) or kWh (Kilowatt-hours), with the formula:
Capacity (Wh) = Voltage (V) × Current (Ah).
For example, for a battery 36V / 20Ah we have:
36V × 20Ah = 720Wh or 0.72kWh.

Up to date, many tests of extinguishing agents have been conducted by various manufacturers in Europe, and they have managed, according to the relevant test reports and videos, to successfully extinguish Li-Ion batteries up to 750Wh or 0.75kWh.

These tests obviously concern low-voltage batteries used in portable electronic equipment such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, power banks, electric tools, bicycles, scooters, etc. It is also important to note that low-voltage lithium batteries (such as those used in small devices) have a much smaller capacity compared to high-voltage batteries used in energy storage systems or electric vehicles. For example:

• High-voltage batteries: Capacities start from 2000Wh and can reach or exceed 25,000Wh, as seen in electric work vehicles, electric vehicles, large energy storage systems, etc.
• Low-voltage batteries: Capacities range from a few Wh (e.g., mobile phones) up to 1000Wh.

In conclusion, it is absolutely clear that the difference is vast when it comes to high-voltage batteries of 100V DC and above, which are widely used in energy storage systems and electric vehicles of all kinds.

Only Bonpet Systems portable fire extinguishers have the capability to extinguish both low-voltage and high-voltage lithium-ion traction batteries used in vehicles, with extinguishing capabilities ranging from 4000Wh to 25,000Wh.
