Hi @Mimmolam,

Welcome to the community,

I am not sure I understand in full. Are you saying the handset will only charge to 20% and will not charge past this point and have you tried charging the handset while it is turned off and if so what was the outcome of that charge?

Please let me know.

Hi @Mimmolam

Thank you for replying, if the handset seems to last for a long period of time but stays at 20% then this sounds more like a software problem.

In this case, I would suggest backing up your handset and then run through a software repair.

backup using Xperia Companion

software repair using Xperia Companion

Let me know how you get on.

Hi, i replaced my Z3+ battery with a new one (LIS1579ERPC). Looks like an original one, bought on iFixit. It was the only place that i found an original battery outside ebay.

After replacing it the phone does not charege and the battery is stucked at 20%. I used the phone for a couple of minutes and shut down. So that level is not real, it's just a fixed number.
If a change to the old battery it charges ok and battery level changes (battery status shows 900mah, it's extremely bad).

I've tried with original wall charger, laptop USB and another standard wall charger, same results.
