CPSC June 2025 recall covers model A1263 only, not the A1247
The official CPSC notice names model A1263 as the only recalled PowerCore 10000. The subject of this research, the PowerCore III 10000 A1247, is a different model and is NOT part of this recall.
What to check. If you own an A1247, this recall does not apply to it. Do not assume the headline 'Anker PowerCore 10000 recall' covers your unit — check the model number printed on the bottom; only A1263 units with qualifying serial numbers are affected.
CPSC recall of Anker PowerCore 10000 covers model A1263 only, not the A1247 subject
The official CPSC notice states the recall covers only model A1263 (PowerCore 10000), not the A1247 (PowerCore III 10000) subject.
What to check. If you own an A1247, this recall does not apply to it. The recall is only for model A1263 units sold in the U.S. with qualifying serial numbers; check your serial number at anker.com/product-recalls if you have an A1263.
September 2025 global recall models exclude the A1247
The second, worldwide Anker recall (September 2025) covers models A1257, A1647, A1652, A1681, A1689. The A1247 is not on this list either.
What to check. The A1247 appears in neither the June 2025 A1263 recall nor the September 2025 global recall. No recall or documented fire/overheating event found in this run is tied specifically to the A1247 model.
These reports come from the pages linked under each item: owner forums, repair guides and workshops. They are not a diagnosis of any one unit, and a careful check of the one you are buying still applies.
