B = oil, grease, etc
C = electrical
The number before an "A" is equal to 1.25 gallons of water. So a 4A extinguisher is as effective as 5 gallons of water.
The number before a "B" and/or "C" is equal to square foot of coverage. So a 5BC extinguisher provides 5sqft of coverage.
For the home, ABC is best, but if I had to choose only two classes for home use it would be an AB extinguisher. C fires cause A fires.
Also, I really recommend going with a larger size. You'd be shocked how quickly these tiny extinguishers run out of agent.

One thing to add is A is a mess so if not combustible, def go with BC.
Li-ion is a B fire but I would evacuate home & run, call Fire Dept. A lithium fire blanket would buy time, not this.
