Help Slow Charging

Put a new battery in my Galaxy S4Active. A full charge(15%-100%) now takes 14 hours from a wall outlet with the adapter. Any help?

The first thing I would do is swap out the cord and wall adapter for others. If it still happens then perhaps the battery is the culprit?
 
No but I suppose it's always a possibility. I'd focus on the cord and adapter in any case. They are easy to test. Are you using the originals for the S4 Active?
 
Sometimes it also happens because the battery is deeply discharged, look new battery often doesn't have the chemical reaction going in place which is usually observed with a week old battery, I would say try using it for a week and and see if things speed up ! I have encountered the same issue with new battery put over my device but after a week the problem vanished. I think you are encountering the same try doing that and if you still didn't noticed any improvement then I would say you can always ask for a replacement for this one tooo.
'Twas the cable. I had 3 spare. I guess I didn't work the problem correctly.
Thanks,
Tod
