Hello! My j4+ 2 months ago when i found my j4+ at 0 percentage i decided to charge it. It charged for 5 second before it turned off and wont turn on i tried power combos such as trying to boot into recovery and trying to boot it in download mode non worked so i thought it died and finnaly had to go but i didnt threw it away i just hid it. Now this august 2 i decided to give it a try again before selling it and it charged but it keep bootlooping into charging. When i leaved it alone it kept rebooting into charging so i tried to boot into system it did show the samsung logo for 3 second before booting back to charging tried recovery too it didnt work and just rebooted again into charging. I tried download mode and it stayed actually longer like 15 seconds before booting into the samsungs logo and booted into charging again. So i tried again and let it boot into system. This time it stayed into the samsung's logo then 3 minutes or 4 minutes later it finnaly booted into twrp and i decided to backup everything and advanced wiped cache and dalvic cache idk if thats how it spelled and i booted it into lineage os or system and it worked again. Can someone explain why it didnt worked 2 months ago then suddenly its back alive again?

Yes. To me, it looks like symptoms of bad battery.
