I have recently bought "Predator G3-572", everything is working fine except the battery performance.

As per the official website, the company says that this laptop should give backup up to 9hours, however, my laptop just last between 2Hr 30 minutes to 3 hours. on continuous video playback.

Is there an issue with the battery?

Please help

    if you are still under warranty, contact Acer support service.

    keep in mind that monitor brightness can reduce a lot the battery performance.

    To reach the advertised battery runtime, you have to leave the laptop idle at minimum brightnes and battery saver turned on. Here is a review(skip to battery section) of the 17inch model, which is practically the same just bigger in size. The video playback is done at minimum brightness.

    Here are another tests, but the brightness and other variables aren't mentioned. It is g3-571, which isn't different from g3-572. Skip to emissions>battery runtime.


    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    yes,I too bought it from flipkart and facing the same battery backup issue.As battery capacity is only 48Wt,it will drain quickly.We should use by plucking the charger always.
