Hello , laptop is Nitro 5 AN517-41 few months old. Laptop is on the AC adapter all the time but I usually keep battery level at the 80% charge through the
Battery Charge Limit option in
Acer Care Center app:
What I noticed few days ago (maybe happened before but I cannot say for sure) is that few minutes after I start gaming battery starts discharging. If I'm in the 100% charge battery will instantly drop to around 95% and then will start to charge slowly again to 100%. If I have enabled
Battery Charge Limit option in
Acer Care Center app then it will slowly start to drop even it is charging all the time:
but charging at low rates (regular charging value while not gaming is around 27k). After I stop gaming battery will charge back to full (or desired lvl) at normal rates. And, during all of these there are no changes in games like FPS drop or similar.
I searched it a bit and and I found few answers that this is perfectly normal for these since system is needing that extra juice for these RTX graphic cards, which I can understand.
My question is, what will this do to the battery itself? For example, when
Charge Limit option is
ON, battery lamp is lit for a 10 seconds then off again and then on again after few minutes, and so on... it's like you are plugging and unplugging charging from the phone cable every few minutes? Which is horrible for the battery... Also battery discharging while charging will not bring anything good either I guess, and charging while gaming should also add few points to the system Temp overall....
Since this is a new laptop and under warranty is there a
possibility of charger replace for a stronger one (this one is 180W), if that one will solve the issue?
Tnx!
