Product FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What's in the kit?
Two complementary layers of protection for e-bike and e-scooter lithium-ion battery fires: a 1L EV fire extinguisher (complies with EN 3-7:2004 + A1:2007) for a rapid first response that cools the battery, and a 2m x 2m EV fire blanket (tested to EN 13501, 2.2kg) to contain and control a fire caused by thermal runaway. Buying them together is cheaper than buying each on its own.
Why have both an extinguisher and a blanket?
They do different jobs. The extinguisher lets you tackle a fire early, cooling the battery and interrupting thermal runaway. The blanket contains what you can't put out, smothering the flames and slowing the spread while you wait for the fire brigade. Together they cover you from the first sign of trouble through to containment.
How do I use each item in an emergency?
Extinguisher, follow the PASS method: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire or the battery, Squeeze the handle, Sweep side to side, focusing on cooling the battery. Blanket, if it's safe, place it over the item to smother the flames and contain the fire, then get clear. Only tackle a small fire in its early stages, and only if it's safe to do so.
Will it fully put the fire out, and should I still call 000?
Always call 000 immediately. This kit is a first response and containment tool, not a replacement for the fire brigade. A lithium-ion battery can stay hot and reignite hours later, so once you've done what you safely can, get clear and let the professionals handle it.
Do the standards mean it's certified for Australia?
There is currently no Australian Standard specific to lithium-ion battery fires. The extinguisher complies with the European and international standard EN 3-7:2004 + A1:2007, and the blanket is tested to the European EN 13501 fire safety standard, both recognised, rigorous benchmarks.
Is the kit reusable?
No, treat both items as single-use emergency protection. Once the extinguisher has been discharged, even partially, replace it, and once the blanket has been used on a fire, replace it too. If either is damaged or you're unsure it's still fit for use, don't rely on it.
How do I store and maintain it?
Keep both items together, accessible and visible, near where you charge or store your e-bike or e-scooter. Keep the blanket in its bag and the extinguisher on a bracket or shelf within reach. Give the extinguisher a monthly visual check (gauge in the green zone, pin and seal intact, no damage) and inspect the blanket for damage. Both suit home and garage storage and normal temperature variation; avoid prolonged moisture or chemical contact.
What if I need to protect a car or a larger space?
This kit is sized for e-bikes, e-scooters and smaller devices. For mid-sized EVs, home and commercial use, larger 4L and 9L extinguishers and bigger blankets are available separately. Tell us what you're protecting and we'll point you to the right combination.
What about warranty and shipping?
Both items are covered by a 12-month warranty. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your location, and shipping is free Australia wide on orders over $500. As safety equipment, returns are subject to our standard return policy, contact us with any questions.
