    Does it do this if you use the original power supply?

    I can only "guess" that the battery itself is failing now - perhaps just by coincidence, or the aftermarket supply damaged it.

    Is the aftermarket supply the same voltage and at least the same current rating?

    yes i got it because it was "suppose" to be for my laptop.
    so you think a new battery might fix it then?

    "Might" fix it is the operative word there. I sure cannot be for sure until trying it out.

    Does the notebook run fine on the charger alone (with the battery removed)

    For me:
    Model 317-51-70A1 (none of the 15 shown on Acer's site)
    Battery 48Wh (4 cell)
    adapter output 180 Watt, 19.5 V

    Please post a link to the power pack you bought.

    Well, the reviews don't look good

    Tested on models
    Acer Predator Helios 300 PH317-51: PH317-51-70KH PH317-51-78SZ PH317-51-787B PH317-51-75GZ PH317-51-77QK
    none of those exactly match yours, which is 70A1 so that might be the problem.

    I found one in the UK that mentions 70A1

    What part number is shown on your original Acer power adapter?
