What Are The Reasons For the Redmi9a Slow Charging Problem?

The Adapter Is The Problem: 

let’s start with the hardware problems. And the first thing to do is to check your adapter.

67% of Xiaomi devices’ Slow Charging Problems are caused by the adapter.

I know you might think now that you can not know if the adopter is the problem or not by just looking by simply looking at it.

So a great thing to do is to test your phone adapter with a simple trick.

The trick is to try your adapter with different cables (that you are sure 100% are working perfectly ).

If you noticed a change in your phone charging speed then it was the reason for your slow charging problem (dah! I know you already fingered it out)

So your next move is to change the phone adopter.

It is always recommended to buy an original supported adapter from the phone’s official brand for the best results.

If you are too lazy like me to go to the phone store and grab a new adopter you can simply get one from here

Damged Charging Cord:

Sometimes the slow charging in Xiaomi devices can be caused by the charging cable. Phone experts consider the charging cable as a sensitive part as you can see it can be damaged easily.

The charging cable life span is considered to be the lowest and it can easily harm your phone if there is a problem with the charging cable.

Here are the three important things to consider with your charging cable:

The Cable is Harmed:

Start by looking for any cuts or damage in the cable. Bending and Squishing the cable also lead to the cable not charging normally and will cause you slow charging in Xiaomi devices. In this case, you should change your cable immediately or it may harm your phone battery also at the end.

Cord Not Supported: 

If you are using a random cable you bought from a random store. then it is 87% of the reason for your slow charging problem.

Using the original cables supplied by the smartphone company is constantly suggested. In case the original cable is damaged or lost you can simply buy a cable that matches your phone from Amazon here.

If you kept using a bad quality cable and did not take the cable problem seriously you are putting your phone in danger of harming the battery forever.

Alter your Power Origin: 

Sometimes the problem solution can be as simple as changing the power source.

As you can see your slow charging problem can be caused by your charging source. If you are using your laptop, PC, power bank, or your car as a charging source then you need to alter your power source to a wall socket as it charges much faster than any other mediums mentioned above.

You can also try different wall sockets as the electricity power change between each one.

Apps Performing In The Background:

Your problem may not be hardware but a software one. Your apps may be the reason for slow charging as apps Soak up 68% or even more from the battery.

As You may have a running app in the background consuming your phone power and slowing your charging speed without realizing it!

How to fix this?

There are two methods to stop the apps from running in the background.

The first method: swipe up with your finger then go to the X button to close all the running apps in the background.

The other Method:

To stop the apps running in the background you can simply download the “Kill apps” from google play and it will contain all the running apps automatically.

Last Solution: Change The Battery.

If all the above solutions did not work for you then your main problem can be your battery.

The best way to fix your Xiaomi device’s slow charging problems is to change your battery.

As you may be now meeting one of two problems:

An Old Battery Problem: 

The most common problem for phone battery problems is aging. Battery over time gets drained and will not work the same over time.

Aged batteries will affect the phone’s performance as the phone will be slower, and phone apps may lag. That’s a red flag that you need to change your battery.

Damaged Battery problem:

The life span of a phone battery is supposed to last long. But of course, it all relies on your use.

If you are a gamer and like to play games like cand crush, PUBG, and other games then this definitely caused your battery to weaken.

I myself am guilty of playing a lot of games on my phone and I can assure you my phone battery was not happy about that.

Also, long screen time can cause your battery to be tremendously lowered over time.

Scrolling Facebook and Reddit in your bed all day can cause the battery to be damaged over time.
