i have a Aspire 5 (A515-52G-5552) laptop and whenever i play slightly newer games my battery is losing charge(Usually up until 95% or so) while plugged in. I know that this is normal for more demanding applications but I've had this laptop for about 8 months or so, hwmonitor says my battery wear level is 20% (From 48944 mHw to 39353 mHw). Is there a more stronger battery that can handle power drain better while gaming?

    Battery wear level in mAhr or mWhr is normal and probably stabilized after almost a year. Most batteries come from the same mfg facilities despite different brand names so they all have about the same strength that fit inside your machine.

    BEFORE starting heavy gaming loads, the battery should be near fully charged and charger plugged in for maximum play time. The battery current (amperes) delivery capability does naturally decrease with age and also with charge level.

    You can try a larger 90watt charger with a type C plug (Google '90W_5.5phy' for vendors), but if your only concern is battery wear level and no other obvious problems with gaming loads, I'd stay with the 65watt charger.
