Hi,

I have bought an ACER Predator Laptop from Flipkart.

# Acer Predator Helios 300 Gaming Laptop (9th Gen Intel® Core™ I7/NVIDIA RTX 2060) | PH315-52

The power adapter unit I received is not having any Acer brand in it. It says "Delta Electronics". 

My questions are as below:
- If I use the "Delta Electronics" adapter, will it void my Acer Laptop/Baterry warranty?
- Do I need to worry about it? I mean the quality of the power adapter.
- Will it be affecting my Laptop battery in the long run.
- What brand adapter will I get if I order the laptop from "Acer Store India"

Thanks in advance.

    Jagajeevan acer uses either delta or chicony adapters to power the laptops its the same as other manufacturers they all use these 2 brands mainly as long as its the same exact input/output voltage should be just fine and no neither acer neither any other manufacturers make their own adapters they are all sourced from 3rd party manufacturers some have the acer name on it some are just plain oem but that doesnt mean they arent official as they are

    Also you have returned you laptop because the adapter doesnt have acer brand on it ?? that makes no sense its completely normal not to have it i have a bunch of acer laptops old and new and none has the branded acer adapter they are all oem and some chicony some delta and some lite-on those are the 3 adapter manufacturers acer uses that im aware of and im talking laptops from 2008 up to now so again no you have nothing to worry about it :)

    Hi,

    I have replaced my Predator Laptop because of the "3rd party Adapter" but again I have received a 3rd party adapter from "Chicony Power Technologies".
    Same adapter specification though.

    My questions are the same

    - If I use the "Chicony Power Technologies" adapter, will it void my Acer Laptop/Baterry warranty?
    - Do I need to worry about it? I mean the quality of the power adapter? Will it be affecting my Laptop battery in the long run? 
    - What brand adapter will I get if I order the laptop from "Acer Store India"
    - Is "Delta Electronics" a 3rd party vendor ( OEM ) for Acer who supplies power adapter.
    - Doesn't Acer make its own adapter for predator laptops? 

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards
    Jagajeevan

    @xapim - Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate it.

    Even I had similar thoughts. Was expecting if Acer would have confirmed, then I could have just relaxed.

    And I tried asking them to replace only the adapter as the laptop was just fine. But as it was from Flipkart, had to replace the entire box.  :/

    Felt happier after reading your note though. Thanks again  :)
