why didnt my android phone charge to 100% over night?

[Android Central Question]

I was charging it over night like I usually do, and it always reaches 100% every time. Last night I charged it and went to bed but when I checked the battery this morning it was only at 48%. does anyone know why it didn't charge or how to fix it?

Welcome to AndroidCentral Thanks for the question. There could be a couple reasons for this.

1) The power switch was not turned on at the wall.
2) if using a wireless charger, the phone may have moved off the charging coil range.
3) There might have been a power cut during the night that you were not aware of.

If you try to charge the phone now does it work? If yes, then don't worry about it. You phone is fine.
