-I have tried different chargers
-I have bought a new battery(terrible waste of money)
-I have cleared Dalvik cache
-I have turned on 'Low Battery Dump"

I have installed Galaxy Charging Current, and it gives me 100mA almost all the time (Reference: 999mA).
I adjust or remove the charger and plug it in again, it shows 500mA or so. Its basically 200mA on an average and becomes 100mA very easily. 100mA btw is when it isn't charging at all, I never see an increase in battery percentage. I charge my phone the enitre night only to 'increase' it from 3% to 3%!

The battery problem exists for different custom roms, and after wiping cache and even after factory reset. Its really moody, its 1000mA when I am really lucky, for its entire charge.

HELP!!

It might be cheaper or a better use of money to replace the device. You can get some Motorola devices that will be better than that 5 year-old device. You can get a Motorola Moto G4+ with 64 GB of storage for $220.
