Aqueous firefighting solutions and water can quickly lower the cell temperature below the thermal runaway threshold, stopping the reactions and putting it out.
Lithium-metal battery fires? I don’t know what’s used for that.

There has been mods where you could swap lipos in and out and charge externally. The Hotcig DX200 (it uses a DNA200) was one of them for example. I have 4 of them with 14 lipos and I use a lipo charger.I would love a removable li-po pack or the option of charging (if only I had a li-po charger)
My understanding is nothing. It’s why the term “road flare” is used. Road flares use magnesium or aluminum with strontium for color. Metal fires are self oxidizing. They can burn underwater. If they can be put out with water, or anything else basically, it’s a regular fire not a metal fire. Good to know. I heard the term “road flare” referring to fires in electric motorcycles. Seems that’s a major myth that needs busting.
That is what Class D fire extinguishers are for, putting out metal fires.
Types of Fire Extinguishers – The Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association
Describes class D fires. I didn’t think they could be put out at all. New tech maybe?
LiIon fire extinguisher
Describes a special lithium battery fire extinguisher. Everything is in Swedish though so I haven’t any idea what class it is
Did you read it?
Dry Powder
Dry Powder extinguishers are similar to dry chemical except that they extinguish the fire by separating the fuel from the oxygen element or by removing the heat element of the fire triangle.
However, dry powder extinguishers are for Class D or combustible metal fires, only. They are ineffective on all other classes of fires.

Yep. I also read this
History of Fire Extinguishers : Firesafe.org.uk Which describes why metal fires are so hard to put out. The fire is so hot it turns the water into oxyhydrogen, which simply makes things worse. Class D fire extinguishers apparently contain specially anhydrous powders designed to smother the fire without making stuff worse. I was curious as to how old class D is because my info is apparently out of date.
This means the Swedish lithium battery fire extinguisher is some sort of marketing gimmick.

Hi muth. Sorry, I haven't kept up with lipo chargers in years. But there are lots of youtube videos on them. The RC (radio control) crowd are probably the largest group using them.
Hotcig DX200 were like 150 bucks when they first came out and they didn't sell well at that price. Then between June to August 2016, there was a huge sell off of them since Hotcig was making room for their newest mods. And you could often find one for just over 50 bucks. I wish there were more mods like this.
