If there's one idea that ties together everything we publish, it's this: no single product handles a lithium-ion fire on its own. Thermal runaway brings heat, toxic gas and reignition all at once (Fire and Rescue NSW, 2025), and each demands a different response. The strongest safety setups don't rely on one tool — they layer suppression, containment and isolation, sized to the setting.

01The three layers

Think of a complete kit as three jobs. Suppression — a lithium-ion rated extinguisher built to performance standards like EN 3-7:2004+A1:2007 (European Committee for Standardization, 2007) — cools the cells and interrupts runaway early. Containment — a fire blanket — isolates the fire, smothers flame and traps smoke so it can't spread. Isolation — a containment bag — gives you somewhere fire-resistant to put a suspect or damaged battery before it becomes an incident. Cover all three and you've addressed the start, the spread and the storage of the risk.

02Sizing the kit to the setting

The layers stay constant; the scale changes. For a home with e-bikes or e-scooters, the EV Fire Safety Bundle — 1L Extinguisher + E-Blanket pairs a EV Fire Extinguisher 1L (E-Bike & E-Scooter) with a matched EV Fire Blanket (E-Bike & E-Scooter) — add a Premium Battery Fireproof Bag for spare batteries and you're well covered. For a home with an electric car, a workshop or a depot, step up to the EV Fire Safety Bundle — 4L Extinguisher + Heavy-Duty Blanket, which combines a EV Fire Extinguisher 4L with a heavy-duty blanket, or build your own around a full-size EV Fire Blanket (Electric Car).

03Why bundles make sense

Bundling isn't just about saving money, though it does that. It's about making sure the layers actually match. An extinguisher and a blanket chosen for the same asset class work together as a system, with no gaps where one is sized for an e-bike and the other for a car. Our bundles are assembled around exactly this logic — complementary tools, correctly matched.

04Keep it proportionate

A final word on perspective. EV traction-battery fires remain rare relative to fleet size, and rarer per vehicle than petrol and diesel fires (Electric Vehicle Council, 2024; EV FireSafe, n.d.). Building a kit isn't about fear — it's the same logic as a smoke alarm or a household extinguisher: a small, sensible investment against a low-probability, high-consequence event. Size it to your setting, keep it where you'd need it, and know how to use it.
