I have a used first generation iPhone SE with 64gig of storage. a few weeks ago battery drained quickly after a charge. It then got difficult to charge. Would only charge with Apple charger. Now, it will not charge. Starts with discharged battery icon and plug into a power supply icon. (1) Should the iphone run with a discharged battery and the phone plugged into power? (2) Is this a sign that I need to replace the battery? (3) Could it be a bad charging circuit? Robert

Hi Robert It sounds like a battery needs replacing and if the problem persists the next step would be to replace the charging port . i hope this will resolve your issue
