Customer Rating:      Summary: REPLACEMENT BATTERY FOR KINDLE Comment: As long as it works I am happy. Haven't had to use the replacement yet.
Customer Rating:      Summary: less than hoped Comment: Kindle Replacement Battery - Less than I had hoped for in that it was very difficult to take the old battery out and even less than that was the service I received when I contacted Kindle for help. The service dept was less than gracious and not helpful.
The Battery itself, fine.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Replacement worked - but for how long? Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:      Summary: keep a spare on hand Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Kindle Battery Comment: 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.
