I have a bunch of Ankers, and of course at least one of them was part of this.

Edit/Clarification: Only certain serial numbers are affected. If your model is listed in this, you'll need to enter its serial number in the recall form to see if that specific unit is affected.

Models:

  • 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

I've got a PowerCore 20000k (20Ah). I wonder why the 10Ah version is "fire-prone" but the 20Ah version isn't.

    Probably different batches. Recall info said it was due to an issue with a single supplier. Not even all of the listed models are affected, just certain serial numbers for each model.
