Re: Why does my battery drains instead of charging

Welcome to Android Central! What phone do you have? Are you plugged into a wall outlet or a computer USB port? USB ports charge much more slowly, and if you're actively using the phone, the charging current might not be enough to keep up with the drain.

When you plug the phone in, do you see the lightning bolt appear in the battery icon? If not, the charging port itself might be broken.
