[SOLVED]I had the same issue mentioned above with my battery not charging on my AN715-51-796C laptop. I sent mine in for repair but Acer couldn't not replicate the issue. They gave me a free Chicony power adapter. My laptop seemed to be working fine with the new adapter until a month later I started having the same issue again. I called Acer again but they couldn't provide any new help other than to send me another power adapter. I decided to perform a very general Google search on "laptop battery not charging" and found a CNET article titled: "How to fix a Windows 10 laptop that's plugged in but isn't charging". The article provides straightforward instructions on how to resolve the issues. Listed below is the link, with the instructions outlined. So far, the fix is working for me. Hopefully it will help others having this same issue.• Open the Device Manager by searching for it or right-clicking the Start button and selecting Device Manager.• Click Batteries on the list to expand it and you should see two items: Microsoft AC Adapter and Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery.• Right-click ON EACH ITEM (BOTH) and choose Uninstall device. Yes, you are uninstalling your laptop's battery drivers, but don't worry because they will automatically be reinstalled when you restart your laptop.• Shut down your laptop.• Unplug the power cable from your laptop.• If your laptop has a removable battery, remove it. My laptop does not have a removable battery. I tried skipping this step but it didn't work, so I removed the bottom panel of my laptop and then removed the battery by disconnecting it from the motherboard.• Put the battery back in if you removed it.• Plug in your laptop.• Power on your laptop.• Click the battery icon in the system tray and you should see that your laptop is plugged in and charging.5

Hi DavidJoacaRo,
When you connect the charger to the computer there should be a charging LED light showing if the charger is working fine. Please try another wall socket and check. Make sure that the charger is fitting properly to the port and no loose connection. If still no led light and not charging. Please do battery reset to check.
Turn off computer by pressing and holding the power button for 5-6 seconds.
Turn around the computer and search for a very tiny pinhole in the bottom of the laptop. It has a battery symbol by the side of it. Ones you locate it take a tiny paper clip or pin and press and hold it down for 30 seconds. Then connect the charger and see if the charger is charging. If still no change then please check with another charger.
Please let me know if this fixes issue.

If the problem persist after trying the @Kamalika suggestions. then go to device manager and check for battery drivers and uninstall the drivers for battery. Make sure the charger is plugged in while doing this. Post the uninstallation restart the unit.DavidJoacaRo said:Hello, i just got a Acer Nitro 5 laptop.

Identical problem. Reset Battery worked twice previously, now no effect. Uninstalling battery drivers hasn't helped either

Sorry for the late response (2 years wth), I just bought a universal charger in January 2019. The original one just got broken and I couldn't find a new one so I bought a universal charger. Also when playing games I hear two beeps then both blue and red led's flashing and PC stop charging. I think it's from the battery...0

I have a Nitro 5 but does not charge while i’m using it and only charges while it’s off. I’ve tried updating the drivers, troubleshooting the battery, uninstall the drivers and still haven’t fixed the problem with it not charging while i’m using it0

After trying all kind of possible solution to this $tvpid error, the problem with the battery not charging is basically that the allmighty and super powerfull engineers that made this laptop didn't thought that the charger won't be able to support the hardware if you increase the performance such as RAM, disk drive, etc. So they thought that a 135 W charger would be fine, wrong thing my friends, it requires 180 W, thanks for not taking that into account and force us to change the charger, to fix that you must get a 180W charger

This laptop can eat up to 180W?!
On MSI Afterburner, my cpu barely hits 11W while gaming (couldn't see GPU Watt counter)0 -
Had a similar issue where out of the blue laptop would immediately die and wouldn't start if it wasn't plugged in.
I followed JWA's steps above EXCEPT instead of removing the battery. For that step I instead held the power button down for 60 seconds. Once I did this and booted it, everything works now!
Was gonna spend money on a new battery. What a save, thank you @JWA1979 !
My laptop model is AN515-55-57Y8 if that helps anybody.
