I recently bought an Anker power bank that has a 24-month hassle-free warranty marked on the box. Unfortunately, the device stopped working completely and won't turn on at all. When I reached out to Anker support, they responded that my warranty expired in April 2026, but today is still March 2026. They suggested a reset by connecting a USB-C cable from one port to another, but since the power bank won't turn on, that's not possible. I'm really confused about this warranty situation and whether it's a mistake. Has anyone else faced something like this with Anker?

It's definitely concerning when a device like that dies and shows risky signs like hissing or excessive heat. You've done the right thing by alerting Anker about it. Just stay persistent in your communication with them—you deserve to have your warranty honored!
Don't take any chances with a faulty lithium battery. It's wise to keep it unplugged and away from anything flammable. If Anker doesn't resolve the issue, consider recycling it properly. You could also reach out to Amazon if that’s where you bought it—they can sometimes help with refunds even if the warranty is tricky.
It sounds like you might have interacted with an AI customer service agent. I've had a similar experience where my issue wasn't fully acknowledged until a human took over. Definitely keep pushing for answers because it should be clear that your warranty is still valid until April based on what you said. Sending them detailed proof like the invoice and warranty information is key.
I know this can be frustrating! A friend of mine had a defective charger, and the replacement they sent him was absolutely filthy, but they did send a new one after he followed up. It does seem like Anker support might be slipping lately. But don't lose hope—they’ve been good in the past!
