Anker extends recall to five more Power Banks worldwide
Following its recall of one US-only Power Bank, Anker has now issued a worldwide recall and replace notice for five more similar batteries. Here's what's impacted and how to get a refund.

In June 2025, Anker issued its recall of the PowerCore 10000 batteries because of a potential fire risk, although solely to devices sold in the US. As of July 1, 2025, though, the company is recalling five more Power Banks:
- Anker Power Bank (10K, 22.5W) Model A1257
- Anker Power Bank (20,000mAh, 22.5W, Built-In USB-C Cable) -- Model A1647
- Anker MagGo Power Bank (10,000mAh, 7.5W) -- Model A1652
- Anker Zolo Power Bank (20K, 30W, Built-In USB-C and Lightning Cable) Model A1681
- Anker Zolo Power Bank (20K, 30W, Built-In USB-C Cable) Model A1689
Anker says that it has voluntarily decided to issue the recall, and stresses on its announcement that "the likelihood of malfunction is considered minimal." As with the June recall notice, Anker says that the issue regards the lithium-ion battery cells from an unnamed but single vendor.
To confirm which specific device they have, users are told to check the bottom and side of the casing for the model number. Users of any of these devices should then stop using them immediately.
Anker asks that users of the affected products contact the company via its online recall form. Users will be asked for either the serial number or other proof of purchase, and Anker will then confirm whether or not the device qualifies for the recall.
The company asks that users do not dispose of their Power Banks until they have had this confirmation. Even then, it asks that the Power Banks be disposed of at a facility that accepts household hazardous waste.
US users can consult the EPA's page on lithium-ion batteries for details.
Unlike the US-only recall, Anker is not now asking for proof that the Power Bank has been disposed of correctly. But as with that previous recall, it is offering affected users a choice of an Anker gift card, or a free replacement product.
This recall is the third such one by Anker, with the first being in 2023. That was over the Anker 535 Power Bank, which was similarly a potential fire risk because of its battery.
