Changing the Battery

The battery that comes with Kindle can be recharged many times;
however, you may need to replace it eventually. Be sure to use an
Amazon-approved battery that is compatible with Kindle. You can order
one from the Kindle Store on Amazon.com. (Search on "Kindle battery".)
CAUTION! USING NON-AMAZON-APPROVED BATTERIES MAY VOID
YOUR WARRANTY AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR KINDLE.
To change the battery, follow these steps:
1. Turn your Kindle over so that the back cover is facing you.
2. Turn the power off.
3. Slide the back cover off as explained earlier in this manual.
4. To release the battery from the battery holder, insert your finger
under the tab on the right side of the battery, and pull upwards.
5. Unplug the battery cable from the device, and set the battery to one side.
