First of all. I have an international version Nexus 5 (live in Norway), I updated to Android 6.0 Marshmellow a few days ago OTA. Here is a shot the stock battery monitor, just to clarify what I mean. This thread is NOT about battery drain or anything associated with bad battery life.

After I installed the update, I used my phone normally for that day. Then, some time during the evening, the phone turned off abruptly even though it was at 15% battery power. Okay, I thought, and found the charger. Now I noticed that it wouldn't charge nearly at the normal speed. I was starting to suspect either the charger or the battery. During the night, however, it charged to somewhere right below 70%. Now it just seemed like a battery calibration issue. Fine, I thought, and searched up tips on re-calibrating the battery.
Sadly, it turned out that the slow charging that I had experienced the night before, persisted. By this time, I had tried different chargers, USB-port and a few different outlets, I had also tried replacing the battery with a spare I had lying around, all without any luck. As the phone creeped closer and closer to zero, while having the charger plugged in and the little lightning icon saying it was charging (although saying it was not, in the battery menu), I did a factory reset as suggested by some. The reset turned out to be futile, and for the rest of the day, the phone has been reliant on the charger to live, and the battery curve has been flat as pancakes.
Here is a list of what I have tried, so you don't have to waste your time.
-Different chargers, the ones coming with the phone, as well as a plethora of different brands I had lying around
-Turning off WI-FI while charging (someone on the Great Internet suggested it...)
-Replacing the battery with one I know work
-Factory reset
-Letting it turn itself off then charge it while off
-Turning it off while charging
-Charging it in the Fastboot menu (again... someone on the Great Big Internet suggested it)
-Checking the charging port for puppies and other rubbish that we have lying around there
-Keeping the charger connected for longer periods of time
Really the only alternative I haven't tried, is rooting it and rolling it back to 5.1 or something. Although I hoped I would not have to do that when I got my lovely N5 a few years ago... Any suggestions are devoured willingly.
