The Firechief® LithShield® Fire Suppression Bag provides a practical way to help contain the effects of lithium-ion battery thermal runaway.
Manufactured using layers of high-temperature-resistant quartz fabric, the bag is designed to help contain flames and projectiles while allowing smoke and gases to be released in a controlled way.
The Large bag measures 500 × 430mm and is suitable for battery-powered devices with a battery capacity of up to 100Wh.
A high-temperature-resistant zip and secure hook-and-loop flap help keep the bag closed, while the large pull loop makes the zip easier to close quickly when required.

Lithium-ion battery safety in the spotlight
The Firechief® LithShield® Fire Suppression Bag was put to the test as part of The Telegraph’s coverage of lithium battery risks and aviation safety.
The feature explores the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries and what can happen when a battery enters thermal runaway.
