Follow the official replacement instructions; ask about local disposal acceptance before taking it there.

Check the serial
The June 12, 2025 recall covers qualifying PowerCore 10000 A1263 units sold in the US. Read the model and serial underneath; use Anker’s checker linked in the CPSC notice. Stop using an affected unit. Retain the evidence required for replacement before disposal.
Understand the flight restriction
FAA bars damaged or recalled batteries likely to spark or generate dangerous heat from carry-on and checked baggage unless the affected battery is removed or otherwise made safe. That exception is not a DIY instruction. Ask the airline about product-specific guidance; a nonmatching recall result does not certify all flight requirements. Notify crew immediately if a battery overheats, expands, smokes or burns onboard.
Arrange suitable disposal
Keep recalled units out of trash, curbside recycling and retail battery boxes. Call municipal household-hazardous-waste services first: acceptance is not universal.
