How to replace a Kindle reader battery?

Q. If I have to replace my kindle reader battery. How would I do it and where can I get a new battery?

A. It's not made in a way to easily replace the battery.

You are probably better off sending it off to Amazon for service.

Original Question

How long does your Amazon Kindle 3 battery really last?
Q. They claim it'll last a month but I have to charge mine once a week and I don't even use it that heavily. Also, if I look very closely at the battery symbol the instant I unplug the charger after the light has gone green it does not show it as being fully 100% charged, there's a tiny bit of the battery symbol showing as having depleted, so it only ever looks about 95% full at best. Is this normal or does yours show up as being 100% full battery after you unplug the charger?

A. You are right: my battery indicator also displays a little less than 100%. I usually need to recharge my Kindle 3 once every 2 weeks or so. I keep my wireless turned on at all times though.

Turning off your Kindle completely (by holding the power switch for 8 seconds) really makes no difference compared to simply putting it in "screensaver" mode i.e. holding the switch for 2 seconds. Difference in energy consumption is negligible.

I would recommend you turn off wireless and if it only lasts for one week, then their may be a problem with the battery. With wireless off, it should last a good 3 weeks at least. Let us know what happens :)

Original Question

Is there a way to charge the orginal kindle fire battery directly?
Q. The usb port is still barely functional. Hopefully there is a way to just take the battery out, plug it up to something, put it vacillate in the kindle, and have the battery Icon be full for once.....hopefully

A. No, and it's very dangerous to do such thing. There're news from time to time, that the battery explode on the mobile devices...

Instead, since it's an old devices, chances are the battery monitor firmware has gone out of sync with actual battery charge. The tablet will appear to be unable to charge, turn on, having frozen screen, etc. There's a good discussion here on how to fix such kind of problem:

If problem persists, contact Amazon support to see if they can do anything for you.
