Several Anker power bank models recalled: Supplier's batteries pose fire hazard (heise.de)

I heard Anker was banned from Amazon for buying reviews

+A1257, ~A1647~, A1681, A1689

.. but missing A1263, A1642, ~A1647~, A1652, A1366

Only some batches of these model numbers, though. I got an email saying mine had been recalled, but when I put in the serial number on their website, it said the batch was unaffected so mine is still safe to use.

Well darn. I checked my battery’s serial number on their site and it was a positive match. I opted for a gift card but have had yet to receive it. Hopefully it won’t take long!

Bought two anker chargers. Both died within weeks. No clear return policy. Never buying from that brand again.
