Scott,

Last year, I purchased a "Halotron Amerex fire extinguisher" for our van
from an ebay seller after searching to no avail for a Halon type.  If I
understand correctly, Halotron is the current best affordable Halon
replacement.

Product description:
"This Halotron 1 Fire Extinguisher is the perfect alternative to
ozone-depleting Halon 1211 for effective fire control that is EPA approved.
This extinguisher discharges a rapidly evaporating liquid
(HydroChloroFluoroCarbon) that leaves no residue. The liquid extinguishes
Class C fires without conducting electricity back to the operator. It also
provides good visibility during discharge without the risk of thermal or
static shock to sensitive electrical equipment. Recommended for use in
computer rooms, cleanrooms, data storage areas, vehicles, laboratories and
more. Compliance: EPA approved “Clean Agent.” ANSI/UL listed."
