I installed the beta on my iPhone 6 Plus. The battery died on me from excessive use. I plugged the phone into a wall charger for 2 1/2 hours To charge it. I went to pick it up, and it was still flashing a drained battery image at me. I moved my phone to the bedside table and plugged it into my MacBook Pro. After another almost hour, it finally came back on.

All I can say is, "don't let your phone die."

Also, I want to know what might have caused this serious power struggle for my phone to boot back up.

Mines does the same thing. I see it charging then suddenly it stops. It refuses to charge on the laptop using osx el capitan beta.

Same issue here. Haven't managed to get it back on. It doesn't even seem to recognize the charger being plugged.

Have you tried plugging it into an outlet instead of a USB port?

This sounds like an issue with the "EFI" (or similar low level OS). This likely is updated along with other base code with each firmware release. Assuming that this, like most other Apple systems, uses NVRAM to store it's settings might get reset by both holding down the power and home button for a minute or so and then plugging the power adapter into it.

The long delay between plugging the cable in and seeing any charging activity is basically just a severely depleted battery.

Some things can also kick stard the rechard process (using a 10 or 12 watt power adapter). If you have an iPad charger laying around, try that. Charging from your Mac will generally be slower than the iPad charger.

And while this may likely be due to the awful powermanagement in iOS 9 Beta 1, I've seen the same thing happen to brand new devices directly from the factory. (Rarely)

I have had it stop charging on me but I found out that for me, it was because the iPhone was drawing way more power than it should. What I mean is that by default, 500mA is available and the iPhone was trying to get more than that causing the laptop to shut down the USB. Happens sporatically so I can't determine the cause yet. Earlier it used to happen after the iPhone was fully charged, last time was around 70% and charging. Also, Dev Beta 1 and 2 didn't have this problem for me. Oh, mine is a 6 Plus.
