- whycome 1y agoThey should be required to add a photo for each.
- Jtsummers 1y ago> They should be required to add a photo for each. Each entry there is a link, and the pages they link to have images. So no need require anything, it's already done.
- whycome 1y agoWow Then just a case of terrible UX? Nothing indicates anything is a link. And then clicking through there is a single composite image in a tiny header? Would it be hard to show the model numbers with the product image next to it?

- whycome 1y agoyes. That would be the single tiny composite image in the header. Do you see why it's bad? And why it's placement is bad? Esp on mobile.
- viccis 1y agoThanks. I was under the impression that EU sites weren't allowed to force consent for advertising cookies.

I did notice that Anker's web site is an actual store now, taking and shipping orders. It used to only link to Amazon.
- mrheosuper 1y agosuch a shame, their stuff is quite good.
- Jtsummers 1y agoGP is incorrect, they haven't been banned from Amazon unless someone else is selling their products under their name: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/332F5EE8-40F0-4800-B3D2-DF54F3A95BB3/ https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/332F5EE8-40F0-4800-B3D2-D...

- panda888888 1y agoOnly some batches of these model numbers, though. I got an email saying mine had been recalled, but when I put in the serial number on their website, it said the batch was unaffected so mine is still safe to use.
- JLO64 1y agoWell darn. I checked my battery’s serial number on their site and it was a positive match. I opted for a gift card but have had yet to receive it. Hopefully it won’t take long!
