You may be part of a new class action settlement involving Belkin brand power bank batteries sold in California.
The open class action lawsuit claims Belkin breached warranty by how it advertised milliampere-hour (mAh) on power bank packaging and ads.
The claim is that the mAh figure referred to the internal battery size, not the amount of power the device could deliver.
Belkin denies wrongdoing. The Court has not ruled that Belkin did anything wrong. The settlement is proposed and requires final Court approval.
What is the Total Settlement Amount?
The notice does not list a total settlement fund amount. Instead, it describes the benefits available to eligible class members: a $5 voucher, or a $2 cash payment if you request it.
How Do I Qualify For a Payout?
You may qualify if you purchased any Belkin power bank while located in California between January 2, 2016 and April 16, 2024.
Certain people are excluded, including Belkin officers, directors, employees, and related parties listed in the notice.
How Much Can I Get Paid?
Eligible class members can receive one of the following:
• A one time $5 voucher that can be used toward a single transaction on Belkin’s website (valid up to one year from issuance)
• A one time $2 cash payment if you request the exchange option
The notice also states you may submit only one claim, no matter how many Belkin power banks you purchased during the class period.
How Do I File a Claim?
How you get benefits depends on whether you received a notice with a Unique ID.
If you received an email or mailed notice with a Unique ID, you do not need to submit a claim to receive the $5 voucher.
If you want $2 cash instead of the voucher, you must submit an Exchange Request on the settlement website or by mail to the settlement administrator.
If you did not receive a notice with a Unique ID and you want a voucher or cash, you must submit a Claim Form online or by mail by the deadline.
What is the Claim Form Deadline?
March 30, 2026.
What are the Important Dates?
• Claim Form deadline: March 30, 2026
• Objection deadline: March 30, 2026
• Final Approval Hearing: June 12, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. (Los Angeles Superior Court)
When is the class action settlement payment date?
Vouchers and cash payments will be issued after the Court grants final approval and after any appeals are resolved.
Is Proof Required to File a Claim?
If you received a Notice with a Unique ID and PIN you do not need to upload or submit proof of purchase.
The administrator already has purchase data linked to your notice. You can receive the $5 voucher unless you submit an exchange request for the $2 cash option.
If you did NOT receive a Notice and are filing a Claim Form you are generally not required to upload receipts or proof. You may need to confirm you purchased an eligible Belkin power bank in California during the class period.
Provide basic information under penalty of perjury. The adminstrator may request proof of purchase later.
