Then it may seem a no-brainer to use your old charger on a new device because the plugs fit, but it is a common reason why you may have an issue with charging or battery life. Chargers are designed to meet specific voltage and amperage specs for each device. The wrong charger could mean a slow charge, less than the full charge or not charging at all. Always use the original charger for the device or a Verizon approved charger.

Note: Some manufacturer’s device won’t even charge or power on if you’re not using the charger designed for their device after the battery dies completely. Some devices take at least 15 minutes before showing that they’re charging.

Use a Wall Socket

If you’re having charging issues, always plug your device into a wall outlet and not a USB port or a car charger. Car chargers and USB chargers are nice temporary solutions but often do not provide enough power to properly charge your device. If the battery is extremely low or depleted, connect it to a wall charger and allow enough time for the device to charge. The display may remain blank for up to 15 minutes before a low battery image appears.

Test your Charger Your charger might be the issue. To find out if it’s working, use a different USB cable and adapter that is compatible with your device. If your device charges, then it is not an issue with the device.

Clean the Charging Port Charging ports often get clogged in our pockets and bags, here’s a tip to help: – With the port well lit, look for any material, like lint that could be preventing the plug from being seated properly in the port. If anything is visible, use only a clean, dry toothbrush to remove all foreign material within the port. – If you have to hold the charger connector in place or wiggle it to get the device to charge, but the charger works on a similar device. Your device likely has physical damage or corrosion. – When trying to identify if your device has a damaged charging port, check the following:

  • Is the port missing or out of place?
  • Is the charging port bent or damaged?
  • Are any charging port pins damaged?
