Acer TravelMate 2500 Power Adapter
Because Acer uses one power charger that can be used on other units, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. The Acer TravelMate 2500 AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on both the volts and amps outputs. When purchasing a replacement AC charger, the actual Acer brand will probably be the safest way to go.
Red flags of a failing AC adapter
- Most Acer adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- Battery does not charge up whatsoever
- The laptop does not work using just the AC power adapter
