Phone Is Charging Slowly: Check These 5 Common Reasons! by Tarivanessa(f): 3:23pm On Oct 25, 2018
It shouldn’t take a long time to recharge the battery on your phone. If you’ve noticed it slowing down significantly, there’s probably an issue that’s easy to resolve.

Understanding Rechargeable Batteries
Every mobile phone has a battery. For the most part, each battery delivers power the same way. A cell battery contains two electrodes (one positive and one negative) and an electrolyte. Through usage, ions form in the electrodes, which drives a flow of electronics to your battery’s negative outer terminal, thereby giving off a charge. In non-rechargeable batteries, these chemical reactions only occur one time. With rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, like the ones found in phones, the chemical reactions are “reversible.” Thus, recharging allows the cell to absorb power.

Now that you know how battery charging works, it’s time to look at what might be slowing down your older phone while charging. Most likely, it’s because of one of the following reasons:

1. Bad Accessories
The most straightforward reason your cell phone might be charging slower than before might have nothing to do with the phone itself. Instead, you could have a bad cord or adapter, or weak power source. USB cables get put through a lot, especially in homes with multiple users and devices. These cables are often dropped, bent, kept in locations where temperatures can vary significantly, and even stepped on. Therefore, before anything else, change the cable and see if that eliminates the problem

2. Port Issues
Your cable isn’t the only element that could have problems from daily charging. Your phone’s charging port could also suffer some damage. Look at the port for corrosion or an obstruction. While this probably isn’t the reason it’s taking more time to charge your device, you should at least rule it out. To find the latter, use a flashlight and magnification to look around inside your phone’s port. Try to remove any object (lint, dust, etc.) that doesn’t belong, being very careful not to cause damage to the port’s components.

3. Background Apps
Phones that take forever to charge can also have a hard time keeping a charge when in use. A rogue app, or background apps in general, could be the reason for this. Both Android and iOS now have tools for you to find out what apps are running in the background. When you think you’ve located the nasty app, delete it and see if your battery life and charging speed improves.

4. The Problem Is You
Are you the type of person that has to use your smartphone even when it’s charging? Perhaps you’re the reason the device takes so long to recharge. Nowhere is this more apparent than when you’re attempting to recharge your device while also leaving posts on your social network. Instead of doing this, take a break. Make a rule that you won’t use your phone while it’s charging.

5. Aging Battery
If you’ve exhausted the other tips on this list and the battery still seems to take forever to charge, you might think about having the battery replaced. The little industry secret is that lithium-ion batteries don’t last forever and can only be recharged a limited number of times. Therefore, it could be that the battery itself is what’s causing the slow recharging. Take your phone to an authorized dealer for more information on replacing the battery in your device.

If accessories like mobile data, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and location services are all turned on at the same time, the phone will charge very slowly.
