Samsung Galaxy S5 Charging in reverse?

When I charge my Samsung Galaxy S5, instead of charge it just keep letting the battery drain? It shows the charging light and on the phone it has the lighting bolt. Why is this? It only charge off I power the phone off , but it take so long to charge.

Last night it was dead I gave it all night to charge and when I woke up it was only on 58%???

I have the original charger, the phone isn't that old.. why is this happening??

P.S. I plug in in via outlet on the wall...

    It sounds like a bad battery to me. (hey, it happens) I'd take it back to where you bought it. It's new enough that it seems likely to be under warranty. If it isn't, and you are forced to buy a battery on your own. Don't let the phone vendor sell you an overpriced battery. Do a search on the internet and buy from an internet vendor. You will find the difference in prices between the internet and the shop vendor, AMAZING.

    Just woke up and battery is on 60 procent although it was changed for more than 10 hours. I noticed there is something wrong it when I only had 4 procent and plugged that to charger, but the phone still got switched off. How can phone run out the battery when is in charger?
