 Replacement worked - but for how long? September 19, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
The original Kindle battery I had lasted at full capacity for maybe 3 months. By 6 months, it was completely unusable. What's more, the battery casing itself was bulging out so that the back of Kindle couldn't even fit... which made me worry about leaks and things inside the battery.
This replacement battery made an instant difference, all of a sudden the Kindle lasts the proper amount of time on a charge. But I won't trust it to work for too long. Luckily these batteries are cheap.
 keep a spare on hand September 18, 2008

I got this for a spare on hand. I have not yet to replace my original. It says in the instructions when I got my Kindle that to give the battery a long life, NOT to let the battery drain out before recharging. It is better to recharge frequently. When I see my battery at the half way mark, that is when I recharged it back up. Also, when you use the wireless service, it does drain out your battery faster so if you are reading, SHUT THE WIRELESS switch off as you don't need it on and you are just wasting your battery. I don't have any problem with my battery as the previous reviewers do but I wanted a spare on hand so I can replace it right away and not interrupt my reading.
 Kindle Battery September 17, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My oringinal battery lasted 9 months and I use my kindle daily in Alaska without whispernet. I'm not sure if it would have lasted longer or not with whispernet. I am very happy with my kindle and will keep a new battery available just in case this one doesn't last as long.
Kindle backup battery September 10, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I have had my Kindle for a couple of months and wouldn't part with it. The battery is another matter. I wish the Chinese and Japanese manufacturers would settle on a battery standard and that the batteries would be easy to remove and insert.
While it is not brain surgery, having to take the Kindle out of its folder (especially since I have Velcro'd it in so it wouldn't fall out), remove the back, pry the battery out of its nest and unplug it and then having to do the same steps in reverse to install the backup is a royal pain in the neck. The Kindle battery holds an adequate charge for everything except a long airplane trip and if you aren't lucky enough to have a power supply at your seat, you must have a backup battery.
Why do so many engineers design beautiful products and then run out of brain power when it comes to batteries?
So far the replacement battery works fine and it is reasonably priced but I gave it a 3 star rating for the above reasons.
Nice to have a spare battery for my Kindle September 7, 2008

I was having problems with short battery life on my Kindle, so I ordered a spare. The spare appears to better than the original battery. So I always have one battery in the Kindle, and a spare to carry along in case the first battery runs out of juice.
