Stop worrying about your battery, keep the adapter plugged in 24/7 and work with your laptop like you do with a tablet or mobile phone: charge it when you get a low battery alert. Any rechargeable battery (car, phone, laptop, torch) wears out (lose capacity) with time around 20%/year and you must accept the fact that after 3-4 years you need to replace your Li-Ion battery for a new one ($50), no big deal-$13/year. The more you tinker with Windows Power Plan advanced settings, limiting battery charging with Acer Care Center, constantly plugging and unplugging the adapter, the more of a chance developing a real power problem. BTW, Microsoft recommends disabling Hibernate and Fast Startup in "Change what closing the lid does", and "Change settings currently unavailable". And have you made one full charge cycle yet, mandatory with a new battery so BIOS and MS ACPI battery protocol can register the capacity of your battery? If not do that now, charge till the amber battery LED turns blue + an extra 10 minutes, check that the Battery Meter on the taskbar reads 100%, unplug the adapter and work with the laptop till it shuts down on its own (ignore all power alerts), close the lid and plug in the adapter. Charge till the amber battery LED turns blue again + 10 minutes without opening the laptop lid. That's it.
