Water Fails, FireBlock Prevails: Lithium Battery Fire Test

Fireblock Lithium Piercing Test

The video demonstrates a critical safety comparison between using water and a specialized extinguisher on a pierced lithium battery fire. As the battery ignites and bursts into intense flames, water is poured onto it, but it proves completely ineffective—the fire continues to burn, highlighting the dangers of using the wrong suppression method. In contrast, when the FireBlock extinguisher is deployed, the flames are quickly smothered and brought under control, showcasing its effectiveness in handling lithium battery fires. This side-by-side visual makes a powerful case for why traditional methods like water are not suitable for modern battery-related fire hazards.
