Short answer: Anker A1689 is listed by CertiWatt as an active model-specific recall. Even though it is a 20,000 mAh power bank around 74 Wh, affected or unverified A1689 units should not be treated as ordinary carry-on batteries.
The Anker A1689 question is exactly why recall intelligence has to be model-specific. A generic 20,000 mAh answer would miss the recall signal.
Anker and CPSC identify A1689 as an affected Zolo Power Bank 20K 30W Built-In USB-C Cable. CertiWatt keeps the A1689 recall separate from A1688 and other Anker Zolo records.
If your device is A1689, verify the serial or recall eligibility with Anker before travel. If eligibility is unknown, the safer answer is warning or restriction, not a simple allowed verdict.
