Let’s see who’s fireproof. - Real-world Demonstrations

When it comes to lithium batteries, fire suppression isn’t just a nice-to-have - it’s critical. At Lithium Batteries South Africa (LBSA), we don’t just talk about safety. We test it, push it, and prove it.

Now, we’re calling on fire suppression companies, safety product developers, and innovators in the fire protection space:
Do you have a solution that can stop a lithium battery fire? Let’s find out.

Welcome to the LBSA Fire Suppression Challenge

We’re taking LiFePO₄ cells and simulating real thermal events.
That means:

• Physical damage to the cell

• Internal temperatures climbing to over 160°C

•  Real lithium smoke, and pressure, chance of explosion

• A chance to prove your system actually works under pressure

We film the entire process. We review the results. And we compare how different fire suppression methods handle extreme, real-world conditions.

Step Into the Test Zone

Whether your product is granular, aerosol-based, gel, blanket, or foam — we want to test it.

The goal?
To find out which solutions are truly capable of containing, cooling, and neutralizing lithium fires before they spread.

And we’re doing it all at our dedicated testing space in Johannesburg.
