My mobile charges very slow, what is wrong with it?

It is clear that the battery is one of the elements in which manufacturers are going to have a lot to work on in the world of smartphones. However, the truth is sometimes the problems do not have to do so much with the autonomy of the battery, but with the charge of it. You mobile charging slow? It could be for various reasons.

1.- You must change the battery

Over time, batteries lose capacity. That is, its amount of mAh decreases. But not only that, but over time your upload and download performance can also get worse. In this way, it is possible that if your mobile is one or two years old, it charges slower because of the battery. If you can replace the battery of your mobile, because you can remove the back cover, and that is a possibility on your mobile, do not hesitate, because the operation of the battery will be as if it were new. Of course, keep in mind to buy an original battery. In many cases, it will be more profitable than buying a compatible battery that is not original.

2.- Do you use the original charger?

Second, you should take the charger into account. Are you using the original charger that came with the mobile, or a different charger? It's not that you can't use a different charger. In fact, it is possible that with another charger you can even charge the battery faster. But it is also possible that this charger is of a lower intensity, and that is why you are charging the slower mobile. If so, it is not a problem either. That is, you can charge your mobile with that charger without worrying that it will damage the mobile. It will just load slower.

3.- Is the cable broken?

The cables are not of high quality, and in many cases we end up using cables that are broken or almost broken. If that is your case, and you see that your mobile also charges slowly, it may be because of the cable. On other occasions we have said that the cable can be decisive even in the charging speed of your mobile, but if the cable is also broken, not only will it charge slower, as in the previous case, but it could also make a bad connection with the smartphone and damage the motherboard. If this happens, you can say goodbye to your mobile. Replacing the cable with a new one is really simple. Cables are very cheap. And we can even buy one of a higher quality.

4.- Do you connect it to the PC?

Your mobile is charged if you connect it to a charger and the charger to the mains, but it also charges if you connect it to a computer via the USB cable, or if you connect it to a game console, for example. However, it will rarely be charged faster by computer than by mains power adapter. So if you charge your mobile with your computer, and you see that it charges slower, you have already realized why it charges slower, because you are charging it with your PC. Even if you use a USB 2.0 port or a USB 3.0 port, there may be differences in the charging speed of your mobile battery.

5.- Are you using your mobile?

Finally, is it possible that you are using your mobile while it charges? Keep in mind that when you charge the mobile you are giving power to the battery. But keep in mind also that when you are using the mobile you are taking power away from it. In this way, if you are using the mobile simply to talk on the phone, you will see that you will be wasting some battery, but if you are using it to play video games with the volume turned up, then you will be wasting a lot of battery. In fact, it is possible that the battery consumption rate is higher than the charging rate and sometimes the mobile could run out of battery even when it is charging.
