Hello!

I have a problem where I have a charger plugged into the cigarette lighter socket and it only charges my iPhone when the phone's battery level is above 95%. If it is below that, e.g. 72%, it flashes to start charging, but immediately turns off charging.

This wasn't the case before...

The car has a new battery, but it didn't start doing this after the replacement. The car is a 2018 Octavia combi Style.

Hello, welcome to the forum.

I'd suspect the phone charger (or possibly I-phone battery) is faulty - it sounds to me that it is shutting down because it is incorrectly detecting an excess current condition.

Yeah, the actual charger block (or phone, but most likely the charger) would be the problem here. The car just outputs a dumb, constant 12v (fluctuates 11-14 depending on engine state/battery level ofc), it doesn't have any reference of what is actually plugged in.

Have you tried the charger and iPhone in a different car? If the same result then deffo the charger or phone. Likewise try either a different charger (say, your home one) and if ok then the phone is ok so it's the charger.

"Process of elimination"!
