Acer TravelMate 280 Power Adapter
Upon choosing a replacement AC charger, choosing the Acer brand one is always going to be the safest and easiest way to go. The Acer TravelMate 280 AC adapter provides two functions, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. A universal power adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output. Because Acer uses one power charger that can be used on other units, be certain you select the correct one for the TravelMate 280 model.
What red flags are there that my charger is on its last leg?
- The laptop does not run while just using AC power
- Your Acer battery refuses to charge completely
- The majority of Acer power chargers get warm when they are plugged in for a period of time
