Hi @Buckeyeboy
When you run the notebook on only the battery, then the notebook can't get enough juice out of it (or how I can explain that) to push the hardware to get full performance.
So when you're on battery you can use the notebook at normal useage.... browse the web, homework, watch movies/series and so on..
And when you want to play games, then you should plug in the battery becuase then it can use more power from the power suply.
But why do you want to play without the ac adapter plugged in?
