Default Phone says charging, but takes forever.

Hi guys. I have a BB Torch 9800 which up until a few weeks ago worked great. The problem I'm having now is that when I plug it in either to the wall charger or USB to my computer, it shows the lightning bolt as though it's charging, but takes forever to charge. For example, I was at about 1/4 battery last night, I charged it on the wall overnight, and had just over a half battery in the morning. I've also tried switching the battery with a known good one, and got the same thing. Has anybody run across this tyoe of problem before? Thanks.

Reboot.
Anyways, did you know that the 99xx and 9850 and 9860 use the most power to charge?

Yeah. Its a little sad.
Some chargers for androids won't work for me while mine all work for others.

Not getting warm at all. I'm pretty sure it's not the charger cause I've used the exact same cable to charge other 9800's without trouble.... Also, it was working great up until recently.
