Battery Safety at Anker: What’s Next and What to Know
As the world’s #1 mobile charging brand, our commitment to product innovation is matched by our responsibility to deliver the highest possible standards of product safety. While our portfolio spans a range of consumer technology, battery performance plays a critical role in many of our brands and products — and in 2024, we began implementing new oversight protocols to ensure every Anker product powered by batteries meets or exceeds the world’s highest standards for safety and reliability.
Today, we’re deepening those efforts with a global initiative to reinforce how battery safety is integrated into every step of our product lifecycle. This includes new supplier partnerships, expanded third-party testing, increased investment in safety systems, and greater transparency around the safeguards we apply to every Anker battery product.
Key Areas of Focus
-
Strengthened Supply Chain Oversight
We’ve implemented more rigorous supplier evaluation standards — including unannounced factory inspections, raw material traceability, and enhanced audit protocols. These measures help ensure that the battery cells we use are consistently high-quality and responsibly manufactured. -
Enhanced Battery Testing Protocols
We’ve expanded our cell-level testing beyond international benchmarks (e.g., UL 2056, IEC 62133). This includes extended charge/discharge cycles, thermal stress tests, X-ray scans, and chemical composition analysis — applied to both new and legacy product lines. Testing investments in 2024 alone exceeded $2 USD million globally. -
Independent Advisory and Engineering Review
A global Battery Safety Advisory Board, composed of engineers and third-party experts, now regularly reviews our battery designs, safety incidents, and manufacturing data. In 2025, this board will expand to include additional external advisors who can benchmark global best practices, support cross-regional alignment, and advise on long-term safety and reliability strategy. -
Strategic Supplier Partnerships
Anker has partnered with globally recognized battery manufacturers to support the development of future Anker products and ensure a higher standard of consistency, quality, and supply chain resilience. These partners are selected based on their technical leadership and ability to meet Anker’s elevated safety requirements. -
Looking Ahead: Battery Safety White Paper
We will soon launch a public-facing Battery Safety Hub — offering access to safety FAQs, certification summaries, and best practices for handling and recycling batteries across regions. This initiative aims to demystify battery safety and offer consumers clearer visibility into how Anker products are tested and validated.
Battery Safety Q&A
Q: What makes lithium-ion batteries safe to use?
Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in smartphones, electric vehicles, medical devices, and aerospace systems. Their safety depends on high-quality components, rigorous design and testing protocols, and proper usage. Anker builds safeguards into every step of this process.
