Briefly consider the procedure in each situation.

If the iPhone battery does not charge or the charge is very slow

1. We check the condition of the adapter and cable for the presence of any kind of damage. If gaps, bent contacts and other similar phenomena are detected, we acquire a new accessory instead of a broken one.
2. We clean the charging socket and directly the plug of the cable from dirt. We do this without the use of metal devices, otherwise we risk damaging the contacts.
3. We are convinced of the operability of the outlet if the charging connection is made to it.
4. We make sure the charger is working. just connect the charging to another iPhone.

That’s all you can do on your own.
