Laptop stops charging while gaming. Acer Aspire A515-51G (J)

My laptop stops charging while gaming and starts blinking orange light, and the battery slowly drains and it shows on battery not charging. Had this issue for a while showed this to a computer mechanic he tried his best and told if it happens again he would refund the money, it worked fine for 3-4 months and the problem again persisted. I've fed up of this problem changed my charger, updated my laptop windows, got a good socket, and what not. The issue is not with the battery as we disconnect the battery and did the same thing it was the same just as the blinking started it turned off. Also for some reason my laptop model number has a J at the end does anyone knows what it means? on the detection tool it didn't showed the J but on my laptop it's printed. Anyways A help would be highly appreciated. This issue started to happen after 1.5 year of using a compatible charger but now I'm using the branded charger of acer though the original charger went dead.

This is normal behavior under heavy gaming loads when the battery must also help the charger meet the game's CPU/GPU power demands.

During those heavy load times, the battery isn't being charged but actually draining to supplement the charger power.

Once battery drains below about the 50% charge level, battery charging takes priority over CPU/GPU power demands. The games will start stuttering and degrade. It's then time to stop gaming. And allow the battery to charge back to 100%.
