JAKARTA Anker is attracting several of its powerbank series globally due to problems with lithium-ion batteries. With the withdrawal of this product, users are asked to stop using the power bank.

This withdrawal comes after Anker carried out the latest quality assurance protocol earlier this year. The protocol, which includes component audits and plant supplier testing, identified potential problems in lithium-ion battery cells from one of the suppliers.

Although the potential for damage is considered small, Anker decided to keep withdrawing its products. Anker has coordinated with regulatory authorities across the country to ensure withdrawals are made in accordance with applicable local guidelines.

There are four power banks that are withdrawn globally. The following is a series of products that must stop being used and returned to Anker.

You need to check whether Anker's powerbank is included in the withdrawal list. Make sure to check the model number by checking the bottom or side of the device. If it matches any of the mentioned units, verify the serial number.

How To Get Rid Of Anker's Powerbank Properly

If your unit is part of the recall, immediately stop using the device. Don't throw away the power bank before receiving confirmation from Anker that your unit is eligible for replacement, shopping voucher, or refund.

After receiving confirmation from Anker, it is very important to dispose of the affected units safely. Dispose of power banks in certified facilities that specifically receive lithium-ion batteries.

Don't throw these lithium-ion batteries in ordinary trash cans, public recycling sites, or used battery storage boxes in retail stores. If thrown in an inappropriate place, the power bank can cause a fire.
