500ml HMS Handy Fire Extinguisher
Compact Fire Protection for Small Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Incidents
Small in Size. Ready When Every Second Counts.
Lithium-ion batteries have become an integral part of everyday life. They power smartphones, laptops, tablets, cameras, drones, power banks, wearable devices, cordless tools, e-bikes, electric scooters, and countless rechargeable products. While these technologies offer convenience and performance, damaged, defective, or improperly charged lithium-ion batteries can, in some circumstances, develop overheating, smoke, or fire.
When an incident occurs, the first few moments are critical. A fast and appropriate response to a small, early-stage battery fire may help limit the spread of the incident while emergency services are being contacted.
The LIFEGUARD 500ml HMS® Handy Fire Extinguisher is a compact, portable fire extinguisher filled with HMS® (Hydrated Mica Suspension)—LIFEGUARD's proprietary mineral-based extinguishing technology developed for lithium-ion battery fire applications. Designed for mobility and convenience, it provides an easily accessible fire protection solution for environments where small lithium-ion batteries are commonly used.
Everyday Devices Can Present Fire Risks
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are found in almost every home, workplace, educational institution, and commercial facility.
Typical applications include:
- Smartphones
- Mobile Phones
- Tablets
- Laptop Computers
- Power Banks
- Smart Watches
- Wireless Earbuds
- Digital Cameras
- Drones
- Portable Speakers
- Rechargeable Flashlights

Although battery-related incidents are uncommon, overheating, physical damage, manufacturing defects, improper charging, or electrical faults can increase the likelihood of a fire.
Having a dedicated extinguisher readily available can form part of an overall emergency preparedness strategy.
HMS® Technology – Developed for Lithium-Ion Battery Applications
The 500ml Handy Fire Extinguisher contains HMS® (Hydrated Mica Suspension), an innovative mineral-based extinguishing agent developed by LIFEGUARD for products intended for lithium-ion battery fire protection.
HMS® combines specially processed hydrated mica with a water-based suspension to provide:
