Nitro AN515-58 can be powered or charged by a USB Type C 65W Power Delivery Charger.

Hi Acer Team and Acer Community,

I would like to ask if it is "really true" that my laptop Nitro AN515-58 can be powered or charged by a USB Type C 65W Power Delivery Charger. Because I researched this laptop before buying it. For the reason that I can use a 65W Power Delivery (PD). Which is best for travelling since I have a multi-port GAN PD charger that is supposed to charge all my devices when I travel. But unfortunately, my Acer Nitro AN515-58 cannot charge, even if I use a single type C port to dedicate power to the laptop. This is very frustrating. And I cannot even return it anymore.

Here is what your (Acer) manual states:

It is clearly stated there that a 20V 65W USB Power Delivery device can power this laptop.

It is even stated in your website.

I have these chargers (both are supposedly PD chargers) and none of these worked:

Then I checked this one Acer Adaptor:

But I cannot even find my model to "again check" for compatibility:

But I did not bother to message your Acer Team or Acer Customer Service anymore, since this will just defeat my purpose in searching for a laptop that can charge via USB Type C. So I can leave the charger that came with it at home and use my travel PD charger when I am away. That was supposedly my intent in buying this laptop in the first place.

Now I always bring my big and heavy stock charger for this laptop and my PD charger along with me whenever I travel.

So frustrating and disappointing at the same time.

I am an Acer user/fan: I have your Predator, Aspire and this Nitro 5. The others I know that I cannot use USB type C PD on them as parts limitations. But this one disheartens me.

Try a special laptop USB-C charger with a fixed thick USB-C cord tested with larger laptops, not a universal multi-port GaN PD charger as these are unable to charge under heavy load of an almost depleted battery or will take forever to charge. Don't worry exceeding the 65-Watt, TBT4 supports up to 100-Watt power delivery, these chargers will work with your laptop: https://rog.asus.com/power-protection-gadgets/chargers-and-adapters/rog-100w-usb-c-adapter-model/ and this one: https://store.acer.com/en-us/100w-adapter-kit-with-power-cord

Yes, the Acer Nitro AN515-58 can be powered or charged by a USB Type C 65W Power Delivery Charger. However, it’s important to note that while the laptop can be charged via USB-C, it may not keep up with the power demand when the laptop is on and gaming2. This is because the original power supply for the AN515-58 is either 180W, 230W, or 280W.
