Acer TravelMate 380 Power Adapter
The Acer TravelMate 380 AC adapter provides two functions, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. When purchasing a replacement adapter, selecting the Acer OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. Because Acer uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. A universal AC adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered. If buying off-brand, make note of both the voltage and amperage output.
Easy warnings of a declining AC adapter
- Battery does not charge up all the time
- Most Acer adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
- The unit will not function while solely using the AC adapter
