Acer TravelMate 8531 Power Adapter
Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, be sure you choose the right one. If you decide to buy an non-Acer adapter, make note of both the voltage and amperage output. A universal AC adapter is a possibility if you absolutely need to. The Acer TravelMate 8531 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries and powering the laptop. When purchasing a replacement charger, choosing the Acer brand one is the best one to choose.
What red flags are there that my Acer power adapter is not working properly?
- Battery does not charge completely
- The laptop does not run without the battery installed
- Most Acer AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
