Won’t destroy electronics, won’t mess up metal coatings. Could be illegal. Will put out any fire.

The Symphony I worked for had a Halon system protecting their music library. The signs on the door said " When Alarm Sounds Exit This Room Immediately" Some one added or you will die. They are serious fire extinguishers.

You could also look into FE-36 extinguishers. I don't know a lot about fire suppression, but I believe that's what replaced halon systems in the big motorsports. It's supposed to be safer for drivers and also not an ozone killer like halon.

I think CO2 works OK.

I agree with frankenmech for shop/home use. CO2 will eliminate the oxygen and cool anything it touches.
Just a quicky note about FE-36 and FM-200 vs Halon. Many claim that they a direct replacement for Halon. Though good, they take a much higher volume to do the same job...It is heavier by a lot.
For the weight reason, Boeing did many studies 5 or 6 years ago. Their then conclusion that both had more environmental impact damage potential than Halon 1211 or Halon 1301, used in aircraft.

I'm wondering how Halon would do against a lith ion fire. That's a chemical reaction going on there. Just like you can fire a gun in space, you wouldn't think that would work but it does. Maybe it would because the reaction is the lith ion hitting oxygen and you are removing the oxygen with the Halon. Dunno. Don't want to find out. 😀

According to several online sources, Lithium-ion batteries are considered a Class B fire, so a standard ABC or BC dry chemical fire extinguisher should be used. Class B is the classification given to flammable liquids. Lithium-ion batteries contain liquid electrolytes that provide a conductive pathway, so the batteries receive a B fire classification.
If there was lithium metal in it (like the little CR2032 coin batteries), you would need a Class D extinguisher, which is a totally different beast.

This Halon extinguisher I have says class b and c. Liquids and electrical. Dunno though, when my lith ion was burning it was going pretty good.

I gotta ask- is a li-ion batt worth it? Sounds like you gotta take a risk with it... I run a fairly cheap sealed battery. Just gotta kick start, but no crazy fire hazard.
