i have an acer emachine laptop,i3,320 gb,3 gb ram.
the problem is the laptop is not charging beyond 80 percent.
is it battery problem or battery driver problem.the laptop is about 6 months old.

Try switching off laptop then charge


Maybe ACER has disabled it charging to protect battery overcharge.


A screenshot please.

@OP, how much less backup are you getting with that 80% charging compared to when battery was charged to 100%. i am asking it cause maybe you are getting full backup even with 80% battery status. BTW this battery problem is common in budget Acer laptops.

If the battery never reaches a 100% charge, please RMA the unit.

the battery backup is reducing day by day.
last week it charged up to 93 percnt,then it decrsd day by day n nw it only charges to 80 percent.
even though i plugged it in to ac (power on or off),its not chargin above 80,tops 83 percent.
i left the lap to charge yestrday whole nit,about 5 hours.by shuting down the laptop.bt still no change,

Take it to service centre.

Do you recharge with inverter?

Looks like a broken battery. Only solution is a replacement.
