nitro 5 AN515-45 Why does my battery keeps discharging even when am plugged in while playing games?

No matter which game I play, after every 10 mins my laptop losses 1% of the battery. Then I exit the game and let it charge and then the cycle repeats itself. Anyone facing the same issue, and any resolution?

Hello!!

khuranan744, 

The factory provided power adaptor may not be good enough to provide needed power. The bottom line is most likely that the system isn’t getting enough juice, it could because the adaptor is under powered or defective. 

Also in other hand, I want you to be sure you’re cooling ports are clear, clean them if it’s an old laptop, go on YouTube to see how that’s done safely.

If the ports are already clear, make sure the laptop is slightly elevated off the table while you’re gaming, allowing the cooling apparatus more efficiency, which might help them run for shorter periods of time.

May I know the full model name of your unit.

@Balatekie I just bought this laptop, barely days old! Why would Acer manufacture a product which would need additional power even when on charge? The charger is 185W! Thats a lot of juice for a machine.

@Easwar its AN515-45-R3TC. Nitro 5 with Ryzen 5 5600H and Nvidia 3060.

As it is a new computer, try changing your Power Plan. 

Change your power plan:-

1. Right-click the battery icon in your taskbar.

2. Click Power Options.

   

3. Click Change when the computer sleeps.

4. Click the dropdown menu next to Turn off the display.

   

5. Click Never.

6. Click the dropdown menu next to Put the computer to sleep.

   

7. Click Never.

8. Click Change advanced power settings.

   

9. Click the expand button next to Battery.

10. Click the expand button next to Critical battery action. Ensure the section next to On battery says Hibernate.

    

11. Click the expand button next to Critical battery level.

12. Click the percentage next to On Battery.

    

13. Click the down arrow to set the number as low as possible.

14. Click Apply.

    

15. Click OK.

16. Click Save changes.

    

Hope this Help!!
