Hi , what do you think is the average battery life of acer aspire 5 a515-57 T32 on a charge??

 [Edited the thread to add issue detail]

Answers

  • Theoretically, its duration is 7 hours, but this would be under minimum consumption conditions. In reality, this duration is conditioned by the use you are giving it, the brightness of the screen, the Wi-Fi connection, the pages or applications on usage, set power mode (balanced, minimum, or maximum), media playback, or gaming.

    This is the series information displayed by Acer.

    I use balanced mode , video playback is optimized battery life mode , background is dark mode. and i reach around 4 hours of battery life on single charge. But i feel like it's below avarage. It feels me like battery is draining so fast. and i dont know what to do. Also even if i do nothing , it's draining again.

    I wonder if it might happen because of the fact that it's got windows 11 , because i'va heard that windows 11 drains out battery way faster than windows 10

  • Sorry about the delay in responding.

    No, the use of Windows 11 does not cause more consumption, on the contrary, Windows 11 enhances better management of the processor and the battery.

    I think that the duration is normal, even good, as I already told you, the theoretical maximum times of the battery are in ideal conditions that never occur in reality, it is not that they give an erroneous duration data, it is simply a referred data to the chemical characteristics of the battery that differ from actual use.

    In any case, if you consider that the duration is not adequate, contact Acer support directly or its warranty and comment services.

    Kind regards.

    @Alejandro_AC i've in fact seen some of my friends' laptop battery results that their both design capacity is lower than mine(42 whr and 46 whr) and they both run win10. So , they achieve 6-8 hours of battery life on single charge. How do you think about that?? More over i couldnt find my model on this website . Mine is a515-57-t32 but the on this site is 57- 52yq.

  • In this information, 7 hours appears as the optimal duration:

    https://www.acer.com/us-en/laptops/aspire/aspire-5-intel/pdp/NX.K3KAA.004

    which is from the same series, the addition T32 o 52YQ does not change the characteristics of the battery.

    The official page of your team's series is here:

    https://www.acer.com/us-en/support?search=Aspire%20A515-57&filter=global_download&suggest=A515-57;7

    As I told you before, I understand that you have doubts and that you want to solve them, I would do the same, to solve them and rule out a physical problem with the battery, you should contact Acer support in your area.

    You can also expect more responses from the community.

    Greetings.

    I use Linux on Power Saver and 35% brightness, besides the battery health is 86%, it keeps me about 4:00-4:30 h.
