Replacement Battery For 1st (First) Generation Kindle

This battery is precisely the same one which came with your device, and is sold directly by Amazon themselves. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't have a great customer feedback rating - it seems that the problem was a product design fault and not a batch fault. Costing around $20, I would recommend looking at suitable batteries from alternative providers; otherwise, you may find yourself have precisely the same problem again.

And this battery from DekCell seems to be the most popular of the alternatives on the market, with an average Amazon customer rating of 4/5 (against 3/5 for the Kindle battery above). DekCell make a great battery, there is no denying that - the best replacement batteries for early iPod models were also produced by DekCell. This battery will also cost you significantly less than the Amazon own brand product. This 1530mAh rechargeable Li-ion cell battery should solve your problems, consider purchasing two if you travel long distances and never be left without reading material again!

Another well recieved alternative is this 1530 mAh Li-Poly NoMEM Battery by Lenmar which also has an average customer rating of 4/5 stars, many customers have praised the battery life of the Lenmar with some stating that they have moved from charging their battery daily to twice weekly! This battery costs around the same price as the DekCell, personally I would perhaps choose the DekCell over this battery purely on the basis of my prior positive experience of their products.
