Comment: Since I travel extensively with my Kindle, I thought I should have a replacement battery. Unfortunately, the replacement does not seem to have as much stamina as the original. I recharge my Kindle once a week, and have had it for 7 months, but I when I use the replacement battery, I have to recharge every 4 days. Disappointing.
The good news, however, is that the price is very good, so it won't break the bank to replace it often if needed.

Comment: I bought a second battery for my Kindle just in case something should happen to my original. I had heard people were having problems with the original battery dying after a few months, so I wanted to be prepared because I'm pretty attached to my Kindle. Plus, it is nice to have in case something keeps me from being able to charge the original battery (e.g. a power outage). This battery charged up quickly and I used it in the Kindle for 2 weeks to make sure it worked.

Comment: As with any battery, they must be used and rotated to stay healthy. If you do not use or rotate your spare, it will die prematurely. Batteries seem to charge better and develop a longer use time by draining them down to near 0 and then recharging fully. "Do not store a discharged battery for an extended period of time, death (of the battery) is the result!
Enjoy your Kindle and happy reading...

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.
