Welcome to Windows Cental.

I've recently experienced this with my L535... several times actually. This was accompanied by excessive heating. Are you experiencing heating issues with your phone as well?

A simple restart resolved the problem in my case. If a restart won't work for you, you may try a soft reset. It could be that a process was stuck running in the background, and these two methods should stop it from running. Also, seeing that your phone is "charging" when it is actually not charging means that the rate of discharge is near or equal to the rate of charging.

Restart - power off, power on (you may also want to remove the battery and return it back first before turning your phone on again)
Soft reset - press volume down and power buttons together until your phone reboots

Other main causes of excessive battery drains (aside from playing games and heavy internet browsing) are poor GSM signal and poor WiFi reception - these two increase the power demand for the GSM antenna and the WiFi antenna, causing battery drain. Make sure that your phone reception is also good.

Let us know which one works.
