    You can use thid port to charge mobile devices any time the notebook is turned on or in Sleep mode.  Power-off USB charging allows you to charge mobile devices using the designated USB port, even when the notebook is off or in Hibernation mode.

    Acer USB Charge Manager application  will allow you to set the minimum battery threshold from 10% to 90%, preventing the battery from being drained while charging external USB devices through the USB 3.0 port. This application can also be used to disable the external charge feature when the AC adapter is not plugged in.

    By default, the system will charge devices when the notebook is plugged in or on battery power.  If the notebook is on battery power, charging will stop when the battery reaches 30%.

    You can Type USB, and select Acer USB Charge Manager from the search results. Adjust your USB Charge settings and click OK to save changes.
