I recently noticed that my old charger seemed to drain my phone battery faster instead of charging it. How is that even possible? I have a new charger now, but I'm curious about what might have gone wrong with the old one and how chargers work in general.

Yeah, if the charger has a short circuit, it could heat your phone up, causing it to draw more power. That could explain why it felt like it was draining your battery. It's good you switched to a new charger; it sounds like the old one was just trouble waiting to happen!
It sounds like your old charger wasn't actually charging your phone at all! Sometimes, if a charger is faulty or slow, it can't provide enough power, which might lead the phone to use more battery than it charges. So, even though it's plugged in, it's like you're running your phone without a power source, making it struggle and drain faster.
Also remember, a bad charger can harm your battery in the long run, so it's best to replace it before it causes any more issues. Always better safe than sorry when it comes to charging your devices!
Totally agree! I always keep an eye out for weird charger behavior after having a bad experience myself.
That makes sense! I thought it was just the charger being slow, but it could've actually been doing more harm than good. Thanks for the info!
