Anker has ditched the battery supplier linked to over a million fire-prone power banks.

Apex (fka Amprius) is out, and ATL (aka Amperex) is in, as Anker recalls yet another five power banks due to overheating and fire risks. That’s on top of its million-battery recall and smaller recalls in 2024 and 2023.

ATL’s a big name because it supplies Apple and Samsung, but it’s not a sure bet: switching exclusively to ATL batteries wasn’t enough to keep Samsung from recalling every single Galaxy Note 7.
