Hello,

My machine is the Nitro 5 (AN515-53-52FA-US) and I LOVE it so far for what I have been using it for. My only gripe is that gaming performance takes a HUGE DIP when I game when the machine is connected to the charger. Games work PERFECT when plugged in but as soon as I unplug, games STRUGGLE and makes it seem as if thought I am playing on a whole different machine. 

I have tried using these steps here

and still no difference. 

Any other solutions?

    No. The battery drain is too high on the battery alone. It's designed to protect the battery. Jack E/NJ

    Thanks for the answer! Sounds logical. I'll just not play 3D intensive games while on battery.
