Anker Recalls More Power Banks: Here's How to Get a Free Replacement or Gift Card

Anker recalled 481,000 power banks after 33 fire and explosion reports, including four minor burns and one major property damage, urging consumers to stop use immediately.

  • Anker Innovations Limited has voluntarily recalled nearly 481,000 power banks sold nationwide from August 2023 through June 2025 due to risks of fire and burns caused by overheating lithium-ion batteries.
  • The recall was initiated after 33 incidents involving fires and explosions were reported, which included four cases of minor burns and one incident causing serious damage to property, leading to consumer safety warnings.
  • The recall involves five Anker Power Bank models—A1647, A1652, A1257, A1681, and A1689—that were sold across various major retailers nationwide, with prices ranging from $30 to $50.
  • Consumers must cease use of recalled power banks and provide a photo displaying the device’s model and serial numbers, their own name, the date the photo was taken, and the word “recalled” marked on the device. They must also verify proper disposal of the product to be eligible for a full refund or a $30 Anker gift card.
  • Anker plans to launch a Battery Safety Program to improve supplier accountability, testing, and quality assurance, while urging consumers to avoid extended charging and store batteries in ventilated areas.
