Why is my Samsung A9 (2018) charging very slow?

[MarkLawrence_1993]

I just recently experienced this about a month ago where prior to this i'm fast charging in just 2 hours more or less while now i'm charging more than 6 hours to get fully charged. I noticed that before this, I got an update, then this slow charging started. Its not a problem to my charger and its chord because I tried charging it to my gf's phone and it filled her phone up in just less than 2 hours. I also dont think it's a problem to my phone's battery because its relatively new like no more than 2 years. What could have been the problem? Are other people experiencing the same issue as well? I'm on android v.10 if it helps.

Edit: I also happened to charged it in my car's 12v socket using an ordinary usb adapter then also noticed after a few days it charged slow already. Could this be the possible reason also?

Is this the original battery? How low do you let it go before charging? If you regularly drain the battery below 40% after 2 years it may be on its way out.

Make sure the tablet's USB port is clear of any debris.
