So I recently got a Nitro 5 for college. I was wondering if using the laptop while it’s charging draws power from the battery or if it uses AC power exclusively as long as it detects it’s plugged in. My old laptop took power from my battery which killed the health and resulted in me disconnecting the battery to play games. Do I need to be concerned about using the N5 heavily while it’s charging?

    It pulls from AC when possible, but dips into the battery to add extra juice when needed

    Always plug it in and utilise it. When I checked it myself, I discovered that when it is continually plugged in, the wear level is lower. Enjoy.

    There are a few things to check if your Nitro 5 power supply is acting up.


    First, make sure the cable is securely plugged into the computer. If it's loose, you may have an issue with the connection.


    Second, try removing the battery and plugging in the power supply directly to the computer. If this doesn't work, consider replacing the battery or trying another battery if you have one available.


    If none of these solutions help, it's possible that your power supply has died altogether.
