A couple of evenings ago, my cell phone spent 6-8 hours on the floor of my car, which was parked on the driveway. Probably at or below 0 Celsius. When I took the phone inside, it was turned off, and the battery was at 0 percent (Galaxy S10 Plus). I charged it (wirelessly) without letting it warm up (yes, I know that was probably a mistake -- I probably should have put the phone onto an electric blanket I have).
Now, when the battery reaches something like 72 percent or 75 percent, it charges normally. Below that point, it takes 90 minutes to add 10 percent to the phone's battery charge. EDIT: This is true for both wired AND wireless charging. So if my phone is very low, like below 20 percent, it's going to take a LONG time to charge it up. This is true for both wired AND wireless charging.
I find kits on Amazon and eBay to remove the glue, remove the back from the phone, and replace the battery. I think have the skills to do this. But is this a problem with the charging circuit or the battery? If the charging circuit is defective, a new battery will not help.
(Sure, I'd love to get the Samsung S23FE, brand new, NOT locked to any US cell phone company, for about $490, but I would also like to save my money......)
