Acer Predator PT515-51 - Predator Triton 500 battery problems(Predator PT515-51)

I am really

on the battery acer had provided for the triton 500 laptop. I have it only a few weeks and the battery really stress me up so I just wanna know whether its the battery problem or the charging circuit in the motherboard. So this is my problem. When i fully charged my laptop to 100%, and then i plugged the charger off my laptop it straight away turns to 99% not even a second. Next, when i does heavy gaming, the laptop battery decreases even if it is charging and somethimes the charging indicator is not even light up while i gaming after sometime. When i run battery report it shows that my full charge capacity is more than the delight capacity and how is it even possible? Not only that, sometimes after i off the charger after charged 100%, the battery straight turns to 92% so may i know, is it my battery problem or charging circuit which is the motherboard problem. I really hope that it is the battery problem and not the motherboard

Hello! Can you tell me the exact model of the notebook? Example an515-51-7kz!

About the fact that the battery is used even when the power adapter is connected, this occurs in the current gamers notebooks, when it is necessary to provide more performance. However, the battery will only discharge up to 40% and then charge automatically!

About the fact that the windows report identifies a load that is greater than the actual capacity, have you tried to uninstall and remove the battery and power adapter drivers from the device manager and then restart the notebook? Have you also tried resetting the battery?

Is it true that is is normal for the predator triton 500 to discharge while playing high graphic games even it is plugged in ? This is my model number

Yes, this is normal when there is demand! so I recommend that you put the battery in high performance as well.

As it was said thats the main purpose of the built in battery on gaming laptops to aid the adapter in high demanding tasks/games when the adapter cant provide enough power to support the cpu/gpu have you undervolted/optimized windows it might help

marcushdjdjs · June 16

I don’t know whether undervolt my cpu or gpu is a good option to do or will undervolting harm my laptop hardware? And by undervolting u mean undervolt the cpu or the gpu?

xapim · June 16

No it wont harm never did and never will undervolt means using less power with the same performance follow the links in my signature to find out more in fact Acer leanerd the lesson all new 2019 H300 already come pre underverolted iths the first manufacturer to do so and more will follow the benchmarks already taken on 20 games from the 1660ti model surpass all other manufaturers with rtx 2060 and even 2070 in some games and equalize 2080 max q in some cases so yeah they are in the good path they acceppted the advice given by someone we know very well here in the community and it was well worth it they are completely beasts just wish i could afford/upgrade to one

So should I perform cpu or gpu undervolting since my cpu is i5 8300h not the i7 version

xapim · June 16

undervolt works with any there are pre made TS confs for various cpus in the predator fb group then its just a case of adjusting for the ideal numbers if needed

Maybe a windows error! Have you tried removing the battery and power adapter driver from the device manager?

xapim · June 18

Yup definitely a windows bug or widows itself its all bugged

marcushdjdjs · June 18

I have done everything I tried run windows update reinstall battery drivers everything but I haven’t touch the battery itself(taking it out and putting it back since it is not a detachable battery) will it possibly be my battery itself is a problem or should I contact acer for a battery replacement?
