how long does a rechargeable fire extinguisher last
Well, the good news is that with proper care and maintenance, your portable fire extinguisher should last a very long time. If youâve had the same fire extinguisher for a long time (10 â 12 years) it is recommended that you have it hydrostatically tested. A hydrostatic test exposes your fire extinguisher to high pressure (usually 500psi) to check the integrity of the shell. If the shell holds up well it is a sign that your fire extinguisher is still good and will last for a few more years before it needs to be replaced.
