Acer Aspire 5020 Power Adapter
The Acer Aspire 5020 AC adapter is needed for two reasons, to charge any and all batteries and powering the laptop. If buying off-brand, make sure to check both the voltage and amperage output. When choosing a new AC charger, the actual Acer brand will probably be the safest way to go. A universal power adapter can be used if you absolutely need to. Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that is most likely used on other laptop models, double-check the part number or model number of the adapter.
Major indications of an inadequate AC adapter
- The majority of Acer power chargers will get warm to the touch when plugged in for any length of time
- Battery does not charge completely
- The unit will not run while just using AC power
