Acer laptops are known for their long battery life, but over time, the battery may start to lose its capacity. This can be due to a number of factors, including age, usage, and environmental conditions. If you're noticing that your Acer laptop's battery life is not what it used to be, you may want to try calibrating it.
Calibrating a battery helps to ensure that the computer's operating system is accurately reporting the battery's charge level. This can help to prevent the computer from shutting down unexpectedly when the battery is low.
To calibrate your Acer laptop's battery, follow these steps:
Make sure that your laptop is fully charged.
Drain the battery until the laptop shuts down.
Charge the battery to 100% again.
Once the battery is fully charged, open Acer Care Center.
Click on the "Battery" tab.
Click on the "Calibrate" button.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
The calibration process may take several hours to complete. Once it is finished, your laptop's battery should be calibrated and should provide more accurate battery life estimates.
Tips for improving battery life
In addition to calibrating your battery, there are a few other things you can do to improve battery life on your Acer laptop:
Close any unnecessary programs and applications.
Reduce the brightness of your screen.

By following these tips, you can extend the battery life of your Acer laptop and get the most out of your device.
