Q. I was charging my Kindle 3 for the first time last night at 11pm. I fell asleep and wasn't awake three hours later to check if the light turned green (means fully charged). Woke up at 7am and quickly switched off the charger. Can a Kindle be overcharged and will it have any implications on my new device? I should set the alarm clock next time!
A. Your Kindle has a Lithium ion battery. It won't accept a trickle charge or over charge like a nickel battery. Yank it off the charger as soon as you can after its done. A long over charge time will cause damage to the battery but not the device. Good thing about lithium ion though is that you can throw it on the charger even when it has half of a charge left. Other types of batterys need to be ran dead and only then you can begin charging again.
Should my Kindle 2 battery drain this fast?
Q. Okay, so I got a Kindle 2 just around the time they came out (January maybe? I'm not completely sure) and I haven't really used it much as I'm trying to go through some of my paper books I've had lined up for ages.
The last time I used it was a month ago and when I was done I made sure to completely turn it off and it had a full battery. When I wanted to pick it up and read today, it said the battery was completely dead and needed a charge.
I haven't used it, why is the battery drained? Should I be concerned?
A. Did you turn off the wireless? That eats up the battery too.
Also, when you slide the power back, you are simply putting your Kindle to sleep. It is not completely off. It is still using battery power. So over time, the battery will drain even if you don't use the device.
I have a Kindle and it does the same thing, especially since I keep the wireless on at all times. It happens to all of us. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
When you are ready to read again, just pick it up, re-charge it, and you are all set.
Hope this helps
How to fix my Kindle Fire Battery?
Q. Okay, So. I had my kindle fire for about 7-8 months or so. And well, within the past month, the battery started to go crazy. Every time I tried to charge it, it wouldn't charge. And when I came back to check on it, It said "battery low". It must of turned on by itself, and wasted the battery. I did everything I could. I let the battery dry, and left it for a day, but it doesn't work. Help Please?
A. Your Kindle Fire is still under warranty (all come with a one year warranty) so contact Amazon - they should be able to help you::
