Hey everyone. My iPhone X is having issues charging passed 35-45%. The phone is a three month old refurbished replacement, and battery health shows at 97%. I've tried several chargers (standard 5w, iPad charger, fast USB-C charger & wireless charging) and all display the charging symbol when first connected, but none will charge my phone higher than 35-45%. Tried several hard resets and still have the issue. Any suggestions?
 
The back of the iPhone should get very warm when charging with the 15 watt iPad charger. If the phone isn't getting warm, it's not charging.
You tested several chargers but it could be the cable. Replace the cable with new and see if that helped.

Also get a battery health app on the App Store. There's one that will show the charging current while charging to verify if the battery really is charging or not.
