Amazon Kindle Replacement Battery (for 1st Generation Kindle) Reviews
I am just now buying my first replacement battery for trusty K1. It seems to still be working ok when I am not connected to Whispernet but now when I am connected to whispernet the battery runs out before my eyes. Still 20 months is not too bad. But I see that I am avoiding using whispernet so its time to change.
I have had my Kindle for over a year and have never had to replace the battery. I leave my kindle on all the time, but only turn on Whispernet when I have purchased something and want to download. Leaving your kindle on takes virtually no energy because the putting up of the eink for each page is the only thing using energy, so the only time your battery is being drained is when you turn pages or use your Whispernet, and it lasts a long time for only turning pages. I never recharge until I am at the end of the battery, unless I am going to take it somewhere where I won’t be able to recharge. I definitely think it is a good idea to have a backup battery if you use your Kindle daily like I do. I would be lost without my books.
I purchased the Kindle 1 replacement battery to have on hand if I ever need it; after all nothing lasts forever… except for my Kindle to last that long if I take good care of it! If not forever I will purchase another Kindle because I am sure I can’t live without one!
