Replacement Kindle Battery
I purchased a replacement battery for my Kindle. It works great. I only hope it will last longer than my orginal battery which only made it about 3 1/2 months.

First and foremost, Kindle is an exceptional product. That being said, the battery provided for it, is not. After less than three months of moderate use, the battery that came with the Kindle went from working great to flat dead. I would definitely recommend that you buy at least one extra battery to have around just in case you find yourself inconvenienced by this poor product. Fortunately for us, the pricing on this battery is fairly low. Hopefully, the manufacturer is looking into this and will be providing better batteries down the road. {ssintrepid}

Extra battery for my Kendle 1.
I didn’t need a new battery yet but I wanted to have one on hand so I wouldn’t have to wait for one to be shipped when I did need it.

I don’t consider having a swappable battery a feature – as much as a common sense engineering decision. I can understand to some small extent why the iPod doesn’t – as they are shooting for extreme size reduction. However even in their case – it was a mistake.
The issue with the Kindle battery is that they die too fast – I’m getting 3-4 months before the battery fails to hold a charge – I just ordered two more because my last one after charging all night held the charge for almost 15 minutes – not useful.
I suspect this is either very poor quality control in the Chinese made battery or a design flaw in the charging circuit. In any case Amazon really needs to look into this.

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 One Replacement Battery
Just wanted to say that I had read that it would take a long time to receive a replacement battery. That was not correct.

What’s the problem? My battery lasts 2 weeks!
Not sure why I’m so lucky, but my Kindle battery is great! Have had it for 2 years and not only keeps a charge, it lasts for about 2 weeks of reading.
