Q: iPhone 5s "Sort of" Charging

So I was gone a long time today, and during that time, my iPhone 5s ran out of battery. I got home and when I plugged it in, it gave me the normal low battery screen with the charging cable icon. So I went to take a shower, and when I got out, I went to get my phone only to see that nothing had changed. The charging screen kept turning off and then on. I thought that was a little weird, but I just kept it plugged in, and few minutes later the apple logo appeared and then my lock screen came up but then the phone shut down a few seconds later and went back to the charging screen turning off and on. So at this point a started getting really annoyed. I tried holding down the home and power button, I tried cleaning out the charging port, I used a different cable, and I googled the problem and came up with nothing. I was wondering what I might do to get it to charge. Do I need a new charging port? Do I need a new battery? Any ideas for me? I'm probably gonna bring it to a local repair shop, but I was wondering if you had any suggestions before I went and blew some money into an old phone.

 

Thanks for any help.
