Earlier this year, Anker implemented a series of enhanced quality assurance protocols designed to detect manufacturing issues earlier in the production cycle. These safeguards—including expanded component-level audits and supplier testing—helped us identify a potential issue with common, lithium-ion battery cells from a single vendor.
While the likelihood of malfunction is considered minimal, out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to initiate a voluntary global recall of several Anker power bank models. We have formally notified and are coordinating with regulatory authorities in all regions to ensure the recall is conducted in compliance with all applicable local guidelines.
The following products may be affected:
Step 1: Check your model number—located on the bottom or side of your power bank. If it matches one of the following models (A1257, A1647, A1652, A1681, A1689), proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Verify your serial number or submit your proof of purchase using our online recall form: http://www.anker.com/mmrc2506-form
Note: Please carefully review the letters and numbers in your serial number, such as "1," "L," "l," "2," and "Z." Characters like "0" (zero) and "O" (letter O) are easily confused. Affected serial numbers do not contain the letters "O" or "I."
If your product is confirmed to be affected: - Stop using the device immediately. - Do not dispose of the power bank until you receive confirmation from Anker that your unit qualifies. Refer to the section titled "How to Safely Dispose of Your Power Bank" below.

After you've received confirmation from Anker that your power bank qualifies for a replacement or gift card, please dispose of the affected unit at a certified facility that accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. Anker will arrange pick-up of your recalled power bank. Alternatively, you may ship the unit to Anker according to the recall instructions. Anker will dispose of it at our certified facility. Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery in the rubbish, general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or kerbside recycling bins), or in used battery drop-off boxes typically found at retail or home improvement stores. These are not equipped to handle recalled lithium-ion products like power banks. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be handled differently from regular batteries because they present a greater risk of fire.
