1. Broken charger
The most common reason is a broken charger. The stock charger that comes with the LG G3 is not very strong and resistant. Even if you apply the slightest force over the charging cable, you can break it. It can be not damaged from the outside but the small wires inside can break very easily
2. Damaged charging port
Not only the charging cable but even the charging port can get damaged. If you charge your LG G3 a lot and aren’t very careful, you can break the small pins inside the charging port. Those little pins can get damaged if you move the head of the charging cable a lot.
3. Active applications
See if there are any active applications on the background. Active applications can use a lot of battery life even though you are not using them. Simply open Recent Apps menu and remove all the apps.
