Acer TravelMate 8172 Power Adapter
The Acer TravelMate 8172 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries and powering the laptop. When purchasing a replacement AC adapter, choosing the Acer brand one is the best one to choose. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make note of both the volts and amps outputs. Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. A universal AC adapter can be used if yours is unavailable or backordered.
Warnings the power charger will not live much longer
- Your Acer battery refuses to charge up every time
- The laptop does not run without the battery installed
- Most Acer AC adapters get warm when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
