Acer TravelMate 8571 Power Adapter
The Acer TravelMate 8571 AC adapter provides two functions, to charge the onboard battery and powering the laptop. If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, it is imperative to note the output of amps and voltage. When purchasing a replacement charger, the actual Acer brand is usually going to be the safest choice. A universal AC adapter can be used but only if necessary. Because Acer has been known to use a single AC adapter that can be used on other units, make sure you check the part number for the correct one.
Some clues to watch for in a failing AC adapter
- Your Acer battery refuses to charge every time
- The laptop does not function while just using AC power
- Most Acer AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when they are plugged in for a period of time
