Well charging with original charger is always the most recommended and trustable mode to preserve your batterry.
Alsoperhaps battery come to it´s end, try with another battery (original one!)

Have a look on Universal wiki there is a good tutorial of batteries that maybe can help you.

Most likely and more if it is not an original battery
Do the battery tests listed on the wiki

hi
universal use 1A charger
if use USB only, just have 500MA (not enough the charge the Battery)

I had a customer with identical problem and the cause was the battery. I ordered another battery and all went well - charging and working as it should.

its certainly a battery problem. there's nothing to do if even its wall or usb you are using, it simply varies the charging time. remember however the golden rule in battery charging, regularly using charger with higher rating than the recommended one could damage your battery.

my cent.. :)

hi all

hi Dani,
everytime i full charge my battery with external charger, and put it on my uni, it never show 100%. I think we have a bad external battery :p

before you buy a new one, u should try what Orb3000 post in post #11.
sometime, for some battery, the battery meter can not read right becouse charging always in different %. I mean it charge in 5%, and tomorrow in 78%, and yesterday in 25% ... so you need to re-calibrate the battery. I ever have this problem and problem solve.

if it cannot solve your problem ... maybe the best one you should try is in post #13 :D

after using my uni the battery went down to 19%. i thought of charging it up but before i plugged it to a charger i did a soft reset. after that the phone is not charging nor it is coming up. i do not see any LED lights as well. i have plugged the phone to the charger for more than 2 hrs now but still no sign of led light or the phone booting...what can be the cause, kindly help
