Thanks for the help, will recalibrate it to see if it improves slightly. If not I will replace the batteryxapim said:sb21 it might have came sorta already faulty from factory to begin with as most ppl do not check for battery wear as most dont even know what that is and sometimes its already faulty out of factory rare cases but might happen as the first signs of the battery not fully charging or the adapter connecting/disconnecting are mainly a faulty battery/adapter.
There is and will always be issues with any mass manufacturing processes being laptops cars mobiles etc... but most probably a new battery will solve your issues just make sure you calibrate it once every 3/6 months depending on the usage you can also try to get that one calibrated as i explained above to see if your wear improves or not
For ex this aspire 5 10th gen i have here already came with 25% wear but as a acer demo unit that they have sent to me its normal as it was used on battery for demo purposes for who knows how long but because this si a normal laptop not a gaming ne doesnt matter much not bothered in getting a replacement as i only work with it on AC with mainly the igpu and the mx250 2gb also doesnt use much power but if this was a gaming laptop who needs the extra power to work properly of course i would had replaced it already
FAQ & Answers
Did you try to charge with different charger.
I am awaiting a charger in the post to see if this is the issue. However today I opened the system up and air dusted around the battery and ports and inside the connector and so far this seems to have fixed it slightly. I still get both flashing lights occasionally whilst plugged in and playing a not so hardware reliant game this has happened since purchase though so I guess its due to heat from the charging pin.
Thanks for your reply!

Yeah i read that but i wondered if the issue came back or if it was fixed completely as it had only been a day. As for the adapter I’m not sure if they replaced the whole thing, the part that plugs into the laptop or the part that plugs into the socket. I replaced the socket end and it didnt fix the issue
