[SOLVED] Do I need to change battery?

[akshayvinchu]

Hi
I am using acer aspire e5 573g notebook. It has i3 5th gen processor and 2gb NVidia Geforce 920m graphic processor. I brought this laptop in 2016. I have facing an issue with it since 4-5 months. "Whenever I am connected power adapter while playing games laptop keep charging and discharging, that is it switches to battery even though it is connected with adapter." So I search for solution I found that may be my power adapter is not providing enough power to run load on laptop like games. So I change power adapter and it worked for 10-15 days. Again it come square 1. After that I brought another adapter because I forgot current one at home while I was travelling. So it also work great for 1 and half month again it happens. This time I realise that it happens only when laptop reaches 100%. Which means as it reaches 100 battery starts discharging fast. But before that it happens any time. So, should I change battery or not?

Maybe. It's best to not use your laptop while charging because the battery itself will stop working, as well as the charger.

You're saying you should only use a laptop when it is unplugged?
No.

I mean when its charged...
then you can use
but when not
leave it charging

If it is plugged in, it is 'recharging'.

I know I'm just considering advice, it will affect the battery

4 year old laptop...yes, you should consider a new battery.

 

[Brandon__Dev]

Well yeah

 

[Brandon__Dev]

The battery should be already used up, after all the recharging and usage.

 

[Brandon__Dev]

So yes consider buying a new battery.
