Attention Power Bank Owners!

In a surprising move, Anker has issued a recall for six of its power banks, citing potential risks with the lithium-ion battery cells. If you own one of these devices, you’ll want to pay close attention!

Why Is Anker Taking Action?

While power banks are generally safe, defects in lithium-ion batteries can occur, and Anker’s recall is a proactive measure "out of an abundance of caution." The company has discovered quality issues linked to a single battery vendor that raised alarms during their enhanced quality checks.

The Models Under Recall

The first product on the list is the Anker PowerCore 10000 (Model A1263). Users have been warned that this model could potentially lead to severe issues, including melting plastic, smoke, and even fire hazards due to overheating.

Other Affected Models Include:

1. Anker Power Bank (10K, 22.5W) — Model A1257 2. Anker Power Bank (20,000mAh, 22.5W, Built-In USB-C Cable) — Model A1647 3. Anker MagGo Power Bank (10,000mAh, 7.5W) — Model A1652 4.

How to Check and Get Compensated!

If you think your power bank might be affected, Anker is offering compensation via replacements or gift cards for purchases on Anker.com. Simply fill out the recall form on their website and mark your device with "recall" along with your contact information before disposing of it properly. Anker emphasizes the importance of finding a facility capable of safely disposing of lithium-ion batteries.

Don't Delay!

Even though Anker assures that the chance of malfunction is minimal, it’s always better to err on the side of caution. Be proactive and check if your power bank is on the list. Stay safe!
