Carrying dozens of books is a tough job; e-readers are a blessing for book readers. You can have thousands of downloaded books on the device to read them anywhere you want. When discussing e-readers, Amazon Kindle will come to most people’s minds. Though Amazon Kindles offer great quality and good battery backup, they may face common issues. One of the common problems reported by Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Oasis users is that the devices are not charging 100%. Should you worry about it? And how to fix it? We’ll answer all your questions in this post.
Should You Fully Charge the Kindle?
Amazon Kindles have Lithium batteries. According to several researchers, you should not fully charge a Lithium battery. If you are doing so, you’ll get a slightly higher screen-on time. But it keeps degrading the battery’s lifespan. Thus, do not charge it to 100% for long-lasting battery life. Now, you might be thinking, what’s the ideal battery percentage I should charge my Kindle up to?
For maximum longevity, you should keep the Lithium-ion battery at charge levels between 30 and 70% at all times. Do not let the battery drain below the recommended level. So, the bottom line is, you should not worry about charging your Kindle to 100%. However, if the battery percentage exceeds a specific value or the Kindle does not charge, check out the solutions below to fix the problem.
