hi everyone, I have Acer Nitro AN515-58, when I plug in my 67 watt poco F4 charger it charges the laptop for about 2-3 minutes then it stops working. I've reformatted windows installed every latest driver. issue is still same,my brother also has poco F4 and charging issue is same with his charger. is there any settings that i could change or something am i missing.any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.
[Edited the thread to add model name to the title]
The Nitro 5 AN515-58 uses an adapter of either a 180W High power 5.5PHY (1.7x5.5x11) 19.5V/9.23A or a 230W High power 5.5PHY (1.7x5.5x11) 19.5V/11.8A or a 280W High power 5.5PHY (1.7x5.5x11) 19.5V/14.36A power bricks, that are a very high power adaptors, the Poco F4 charger is made for lower power laptops and not for these gaming high power laptops, so remember that!
The 67 watt Poco F4 charger is a 100–240V~, 50/60Hz, 1.7A Output parameters 5V⎓3A / 5-20V⎓6.2-3.25A (67W Max) charger that is not adequate for this laptop, that is why it only works for 2-3 minutes as it runs out of juice. Use the oem charger that you have as there is no USB-C cable or chargers that can charge this laptop, as the AN515-56 takes up to 12A at 19.5 volts which needs a very high power brick.

I've chacked it on a meter, what i want that if i plug this laptop overnight in morning i should get a charged laptop, this laptop says fully functioning thunderbolt 4 which comes with usb charging. i don't want sustained performance via poco charger just a charged laptop, any way is this possible? moreover when the usb charger stops charging if i unplug and replug the charger it immediately starts to charge again for a while and the poco F4 charger doesn't get uncomfortably hot either.
Those symptoms of your poco F4 charger is that it can’t sustain a constant charge as the laptop battery needs more juice than what your poco F4 charger can output. You are stressing both the poco F4 chargers circuitries and you could do damage to your AN515-58s laptop power/charging circuitries due to a shortage from the poco F4 charger, so using that poco F4 charger is not a good idea as it will eventually overstress and could be a fire hazard, be warned!
Use the Acer provided charger as that is what Acer designed for your laptop as power source and its perfect for the AN515-58 battery, as you will have no problems as that oem Acer AN515-58 charger is also designed to be plugged into the laptop continually for gaming and usage, don’t take the risk with none genuine Acer products as you are asking for trouble(s)!!!
Firstly, it's important to ensure that the charger you're using is compatible with your Acer Nitro laptop. The Nitro AN515-58 requires a charger with a wattage of 135W, so the 67W Poco F4 charger may not provide sufficient power for proper charging.
The 2022 model has 1 x USB Type-C/DisplayPort/Thunderbolt 4 that supports USB-C charging, but you need a proper USB-C laptop charger of at least 90-Watt with a fixed heavy-duty USB-C cable. These chargers have been tested with laptops by ZDNET: https://www.zdnet.com/article/best-usb-c-laptop-charger/ and will be able to charge your laptop.
