Can Fire Terminator put out a lithium battery fire?
The Fire Terminator solution can put out a lithium battery fire. Depending on the size of the battery (mobile phone battery, portable phone battery, electric scooter battery), you may need more than one spray for a larger battery. Beware that larger lithium battery fires can be very powerful so if the fire is larger, it is better to seek safety than to stay close to a large lithium battery fire.

For an average apartment home, we recommend to standby at least 3 cans.
Where do you recommend placing the cans at home?
Fire extinguishers should be within 15m reach. While this is not specifically about homes, it is still a good guide to consider for placements. We recommend placing them in these possible locations:
PFAS/PFOS which exists in other extinguishers.
Others are carcinogenic, we are non carcinogenic
What are PFOA and PFOS?
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluoro octane sulfonate (PFOS) are part of a large group of lab-made chemicals known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Some of these chemicals have been in commercial use since the 1940s.
PFAS have the potential to be a health concern because they don’t break down easily and can stay in the environment and in the human body for a long time (which is why they are sometimes referred to as ‘forever chemicals’). Studies have found PFAS worldwide at very low levels in just about everyone’s blood. Higher blood levels have been found in communities where local water supplies have been contaminated by PFAS. People exposed to PFAS in the workplace can have levels many times higher.
Where should the Fire Terminator spray cans be placed in a workplace?
We recommend having the Fire Terminator spray cans as a convenient first level response to incipient fires that complement the traditional regulation fire extinguishers that are required for commercial buildings. The sprays are not meant as a replacement of these traditional larger fire extinguishers required by your local fire safety code but rather as an additional supplement to that.
Our Fire Terminator sprays are very useful where traditional fire extinguishers may be too complex, heavy or confusing to some untrained staffers or visitors at your workplace. As no training is needed for our sprays and conceptually it is easy to understand, sprays can be a very effective first tool in combating fire when it starts.
Our Fire Terminator sprays can also be a useful tool for personal safety in the event of escaping a larger fire.
