How long does your Amazon Kindle 3 battery really last?
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?
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
