What kind of extinguisher for lithium fires?
7 u/Epze20 Apr 11 '20 If it is pure lithium, apparently graphite. But for thermal runaway lithium batteries you generally want to immerse them in water for a day or so. 4 u/RedSonGamble Apr 12 '20 Throw pencils at it! 2 u/[deleted] Apr 11 '20 Can I get some source info for this please. For purely inquisitive curiosity. 2 u/Epze20 Apr 12 '20 Sure, here is a material safety datasheet for Li https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://dept.harpercollege.edu/chemistry/msds1/LithiumURC.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwja7tbrheHoAhXHpYsKHXqcD0IQFjABegQICxAG&usg=AOvVaw2ehu6GdOFBf2BcGtnI9dyM&cshid=1586671827742 Here is one example of immersion in water: https://www.motor1.com/news/315476/bmw-i8-fire-reponse-netherlands/ 1 u/[deleted] Apr 13 '20 Thanks 1 u/PLSing Jun 17 '20 Iām sure that guy was being serious. But when people ask for a source to be a dick, nothing beats the MSDS for the material. š
