Before you buy

Can I use a higher-watt charger?+

Yes — as long as the connector is the same (Acer 5.5mm barrel), a higher-wattage charger is completely safe. Your laptop only draws the power it needs, so a 65W or higher charger will charge it normally (often a little faster).

Can I use a lower-watt charger?+

Not recommended. Below 65W the charger may charge very slowly, only charge while the laptop is off, or fail to keep up under load — and the battery can still drain during heavy use. Stick to 65W or higher.

Will this damage my laptop?+

No. This charger delivers the exact 19V voltage your laptop expects, through the correct Acer 5.5mm barrel connector. A matched connector, voltage and wattage cannot damage your laptop.

Can I use USB-C instead?+

No — this Acer laptop uses a Acer 5.5mm barrel barrel connector and has no USB-C charging port, so a USB-C charger won't physically connect. Use the barrel charger shown above.

Which charger does the Acer Aspire 5 15 use?

The Acer Aspire 5 15 (A515-57 / A515-45) charges with a 65W Barrel adapter. A charger with the same connector at an equal or higher wattage is safe — your laptop only draws the power it needs. Not sure what yours shipped with? Snap a photo of the label and we'll confirm it.
