Acer TravelMate 8471 Power Adapter
The Acer TravelMate 8471 power adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge the onboard battery and to provide a source of power for the unit. When purchasing a replacement charger, selecting the Acer OEM charger is the best one to choose. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output. Because Acer uses one power charger that powers multiple other machines, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered.
Key symptoms of a declining charger
- Most Acer adapters will get warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
- The laptop does not function using just the AC power adapter
- Your Acer battery refuses to charge every time
