My iPhone 3 is taking ages to charge?

My friend just gave me her old iPhone 3.It has been working OK - however, when I've been trying to charge it, the phone recodnises it has been plugged in as the battery idon has a lightning bolt through it. However it is taking so long to charge! I don't know what is wrong with it - I've tried two chargers. I don't want to pay loads for a new battery! Can't get a free new one as my friend bought it on amazon.

Try restarting it, probably?

Jailbreak with whited00r. It adds ios 6 features and make it run faster and charge less often

  • Why is my phone taking so long to charge? I have an iPhone 6 and I don't know why it always takes so long to charge. My phone died, so I plugged it in. It's been plugged in for over an hour, and somehow it still does not have any charge at all whatsoever (even though it is indicating that it is plugged in/charging). Am I doing something wrong? Is my phone broken? Why does this happen? My phone is now plugged in and losing charge.
