Good to know. My Acer Notebook permanently runs on both battery and AC power adapter. If I remove the Adapter from computer, the battery light stays on steady, and the AC power light off, as both lights should.
Now I am typing this with AC power removed. Computer running normally and at the faster speed. Battery Light steady, not flashing. Go figure! Thanks for the experiment anyways.
Further experimenting, I Disabled that function with the computer running, then switched to battery and it worked with no error message. I just don’t have the battery icon/monitor when the function is disabled.
Then I plugged the ac adapter back in and it started recharging as normal. Looks like I can use the battery with the function disabled, just no icon/monitor in the task bar to tell how what % of battery remains.
The error message flashing lights occurred only when I unplugged the ac adapter (with the function disabled) with the computer turned off.
I’m going to experiment with the function off and with the ac adapter for a day or two and determine if I see any improvement.
