Read the code on your existing pack: AP16M5J (https://www.ipc-computer.eu/acer/notebook/aspire-serie/3/aspire-3-a315-56/battery-78237030), AP19B8K (https://www.ipc-computer.eu/acer/notebook/aspire-serie/3/aspire-3-a315-56/battery-74101215) or AP18C8K (https://www.sparepartworld.com/acer/notebook/aspire-serie/3/aspire-3-a315-56/battery-78232431). They differ in voltage and are not interchangeable.
Our verdict
Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.
Expert rating5.5 / 10
The A315-56 is an older budget 15.6 inch laptop with a Core i5-1035G1, 8GB of DDR4 and a 256GB drive. It works as a basic machine for web pages, email and schoolwork, and the 1.9 kg weight is typical for the size.
The display is a 1080p TN panel, so viewing angles and color are weaker than IPS. The 36.7Wh battery is small and the 2020 platform is dated, so expect modest endurance and limited headroom.
