Is this normal or what's the issue.

When attempting to turn on turbo mode on my acer, it tells me that overclocking is only available when the AC adapter is plugged in and at least 40% battery life remains. I'm new to gaming laptops so I didn't know if this was how it was suppose to be or not. After watching a couple videos it seems like for most people it works just fine without the adapter plugged in. Is this normal or what's the issue?

    Good Morning Tananyan !

    No laptop can achieve maximum system performance on the processor and GPU on power from a single battery.
    Only connected to the power outlet can the system achieve maximum performance.

    Yes it's safe to keep it plugged in while gaming and this is how it is designed to be used. You cannot overcharge the battery, the charger shuts off when the battery is fully charged

    Good morning to you too!
    thank you so much I’m still getting used to all this. If that’s the case is it safe for me to keep my laptop plugged the whole time when playing larger games?

    Good evening !

    Not only is it safe but it is the correct and ideal procedure.
