ACER: original, counterfeit or grey import? How to tell the difference
Your concerns are justified
Many customers are unsure what to think when they receive an Acer battery or power supply without the brand’s logo. However, it’s important to understand that the absence of a logo does not necessarily mean the product is fake. As an official Acer partner, BatteryLaptop / www.batterylaptop.co.uk guarantees 100% genuine parts whenever they are described as such.
Acer packaging: a mark of trust
The green Acer authenticity seal on the packaging is one of the key indicators for distinguishing a genuine part from a counterfeit. Even if online photos or delivered models vary (connector position, presence or absence of an LED, etc.), the part still meets Acer’s standards.

What Acer says about unbranded parts
Acer confirms that parts supplied without a logo, or those with a different reference number, are perfectly valid as long as they come through an official channel.
How reliable are OEM parts?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are produced by partner manufacturers authorised by Acer, such as Delta, Chicony and LiteOn. Although these parts do not always carry the Acer logo, they are made to the same quality and performance standards.
Therefore, the absence of a logo should not be seen as a sign of a counterfeit, but rather as a way of meeting specific requirements while still offering the original reliability and performance.
