Is Acer Nitro V16 ANV16-71 battery backup of 1 hr 40 mins good?

So, I bought this laptop 1 week ago. While testing the battery life, I found out that in 50% brightness and Balanced mode, I got exactly 100 mins of battery life from 100% to 0% while normal surfing and watching YouTube videos. Also tried energy saving mode and got 110 mins max backup in energy saving mode while browsing the internet and watching youtube video at 20% brightness too.

Is my piece really defective? The specs is i7-14650Hx with RTX 4060 8GB (85W TGP) and16GB RAM.

Also my concern is that I bought this laptop in 25th September from a retail store that promised me a 3 year warranty on everything except physical and water damage but while I checked acer's website the warranty period ends in 26th April, 2026. Please give me genuine solutions and what steps should I take next.

Hi noobie9818

• Based on your specs (i7-14650HX + RTX 4060 85W + 65 Whr battery), a battery backup of 100–110 minutes during light tasks like browsing and YouTube is within expected range.

• The RTX 4060 85W variant is power-efficient for a dGPU, but it still draws significant power even in energy-saving mode. Real-world usage rarely allows full 85W draw continuously—average consumption during light tasks is closer to 40–60W.

• Quick math: 65 Whr ÷ 50W = ~1.3 hours (≈78 minutes), which aligns with your results.

• If the system uses hybrid graphics and switches to iGPU during idle or low-load tasks, battery life can stretch further. However, this depends on BIOS settings and driver behavior.

• Your unit doesn’t appear defective based on these numbers. Battery life will vary depending on brightness, background apps, and thermal limits.

• For warranty concerns, Acer’s online warranty checker may reflect the default coverage based on serial number registration date. If your retailer promised 3 years, request written confirmation or invoice details and contact Acer support to reconcile the discrepancy.
