Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-51, Compatible charger 180 watts or 135 watts?

Ashif2005

My Acer Predator Helios 300 Adapter (ADP-180MB K) broke it's wattage is 180 watts. Due to certain circumstances I'm unable to purchase the Identical charger as my replacement. But in my locality/online there is a Acer Predator Helios 300 charger having 135 watts (Original Acer Product that says it is compatible with Predator series laptop) which is able to charge my laptop. Can I use this 135 wattage charger without having an issue with my laptop or do I need to buy the 180 wattage charger. What is the recommended wattage needed by this laptop? There are conflicting reports that says 135 watt charger is sufficient while others say it is not.

Its model is the PH315-51-72X1. If your model has a gtx1060, you must use a 180w adapter. You will not be able to use a 135w adapter, as it will not have enough power.

This is not the EXACT MODEL but the series and release version.
What identifies the exact model are the last 4 characters, such as:
PH315-51-79XM

Found the Exact Model Number it is "PH315-51-72X9"

This model is of high performance.
In this case, the hardware set requires a 180W adapter to achieve maximum performance.

Exactly my friend. You will not be able to use a 135 adapter, which will cause random shutdowns when playing.
