Essential Safety Gear for Modern Travellers
Responsible travellers across Australia are discovering a crucial piece of safety equipment available at their local hardware store: fire-retardant bags designed specifically for lithium-ion batteries. As reported by Stephen Scourfield for The West Australian, these specialised bags provide vital protection against potential battery fires, offering peace of mind for those carrying power banks, camera batteries, and drone equipment.
Product Details and Pricing
The FirePro Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Resistant Bag is currently available at Bunnings for $18.93. Measuring 19cm by 7cm by 7cm, the bag features a reliable velcro seal and is conveniently sized for carry-on luggage. Stephen Scourfield, who personally uses the product, confirms it's spacious enough to hold two power banks along with additional camera and drone batteries.
Beyond its primary fire safety function, the bag serves as an organisational solution for travellers, keeping all spare batteries neatly contained in one labelled location. The compact design ensures it doesn't take up valuable space in your carry-on bag while providing essential safety benefits.
Additional Fire Safety Options
For those requiring document protection or additional storage, FirePro also offers a soft fire retardant document bag in A4 size for $9.45. Like its smaller counterpart, this document bag is easy to tuck into carry-on luggage and provides the same fire-resistant properties. Both products are available at Bunnings and other selected retailers, making lithium battery safety accessible to all Australian travellers.
As lithium battery usage continues to grow in everyday devices from phones to drones, these affordable safety solutions represent a smart investment for anyone who travels with electronic equipment. The products combine practical organisation with crucial safety features that could prevent serious incidents during travel.
