iPhone SE: battery charging only 13% and restarting

Hello,

I dropped my iphone SE (first generation) from a considerable height. It was in a silicone case that popped out after the hit. As a result my screen was damaged beyond repair. I ordered a new one and replace it, but then I noticed that the battery only charges to 3-4%, so it was constantly charging. I thought the reason was the battery, so I bought a new one. After the replacement the problem remained, the battery is charged only to 13% and the phone restarts shortly after opening apps. Powered off the phone and cleaned the plug with rubbing alcohol, nothing changed.

My question is: could this be due to the charging port or is it probably some other hardware problem? If not the charging port, what could be the reason?

I love my phone very much because it is small and I am attached to it. I want to know if there is any chance to save it or it is not worth it :(.

Thank you in advance :)

Best course of action is to replace the charge port and the battery, due to the charge port most likely being the cause. The battery is just to be sure.

Than you for the fast reply!

I have changed the battery already, but the problem reminded.

For this reason I was wondering if it is due to the charge port or something more complicated that will be very expencive to fix.

Like one of the charging components on the logic board for example.

Replacing the charging port would be the best thing, being as it is likely the suspect.
