Introduction
The internal battery of the Acer Chromebook 14 allows the laptop to be operable while disconnected from the A/C charging cord. A faulty internal battery may cause the Acer Chromebook 14 to discharge faster than normal or have issues powering the device while disconnected from the charger.
Before buying a replacement battery, use the first two steps of the guide to ensure that the battery is properly connected within the laptop. You may be able to fix this issue by reconnecting a loose connector.
Before beginning, be sure to power down the laptop, and unplug from the external power source(s).
