Our powder ones had reached the end of their life so I replaced them with A3F foam ones. They are slightly bigger that the equivalent powder ones but when discharged they do not make such a mess. They also do not have powder compaction problems. They do satisfy the BSC requirements,

So how many have you got to get to the 21A rating as a 2lt is only 5A so would require 5 that size.
