Einleitung

As your Kindle gets older the battery life for it gets worse. This guide will teach you how to replace the battery for your Kindle, so you can enjoy hours of reading without having to charge it as often.

    • Carefully wedge the plastic opening tool between the back panel and the device to free the clips holding the back panel and the device together.

    Where can I buy this battery?

    Where can I find the port pls?

    Bobby Turner -

    It would be really helpful if you could show more detail on how the backing is attached to the device, what the latching mechanism looks like in detail, and how to separate it. The technique in the photos might work on a device that has been opened a hundred times before, but on a new one, this guide doesn’t really help me to understand how to open the device.

    • Work your way around the back panel to free all the clips.

    • There are 5 clips on the long and thickest side of the oasis, and none on the others.

    • Carefully remove the back panel from the device.

    • Gently peel the back panel away from the adhesive, being mindful to keep the adhesive strip in good condition so that it can be used again.

    • Using tweezers, lift the orange bridge connector off.

    • Place the tweezers in between the battery and the end of the bridge and lift upwards.

    • Gently wedge the spudger under the battery starting from the left side, and slowly work the spudger around the edge to loosen the battery from the tape. Be careful not to rip the thin foil on the back of the battery.

    • Only use ESD safe tools when working on internal components of your device such as a spudger or opening tool.

    • It is not advised to use a metal spudger, as you could puncture the battery.

    • Lift the battery up using the spudger and use your fingers to slowly pull the battery off the adhesive.

    • Using the tweezers, gently lift the tape off of the Power bridge connector. If a new unit comes with a new piece of tape, remove entirely, if not remove and place one corner lightly face down on a clean surface to be used again.

    Heya, can you share the details for the battery?

    Specs of the battery I just extracted from my Oasis: 3.7V / 245mAH / 0.91Wh

    The battery also reads "Part No 58-00017 Model 223337 1ICP3/34/38". Manufacturer is DongGuan Amperex Technology Limited.

    One step missing…. the end of the orange power connector (the end not attached to the battery) clips into a little socket which is barely visible. You can tell when it clips in by the feel and sound. Make sure that when you put the new battery in, you first clip the connector in before you stick the tape down.

    Gary Jacobson -

    Thank you @Gary Jacobson… that’s a pretty important step that’s missing. I greatly appreciated your comment noting it.

    Also, folks should be aware that the battery you get from iFixIt might come fully discharged. So if your Oasis doesn’t power-on immediately (or do anything at all) after replacing the battery, don’t despair! Plug it in, let it charge for a while, and see if it comes back to life. Mine did (after I had taken it apart twice, reseated the battery and then assumed it was dead and ordered a new one from Amazon). Sigh!

    Peter Viscarola -

    • Attach the new battery by inserting the end of the orange power connector (the end not attached to the battery) clips into a little socket on the device (it's barely visible). You can tell when it clips in by the feel and sound. Make sure that when you put the new battery in, you first clip the connector in before you stick the tape down.

    • Be Aware: Your new battery might not be charged, so it may not power-on immediately! After replacing the battery, plug your Oasis in and let the battery charge to full capacity.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

ALON GAZIT -

Hi.. this is very helpful. But where does one buy a battery? Amazon doesn’t seem to sell them?

Ree -

Hi, same comment: great and interesting but I can’t find the battery anywhere…

fabdelaere -

WTH is a spudger?

Jim Price -

You can find the battery here

https://www.nextbatteries.com/products/a...

890 mAH Li-Polymer 3.7V 61.60 x 53.32 x 2.78mm

Nat Whilk -

That is not the right battery. It doesn’t even look like the one in the pictures above.

Zerdalias -

That is a Kindle 8 battery, not an Oasis 8th Gen battery.

Chris 1000 -

The battery you linked is NOT made for the Kindle Oasis, which is what this guide is for.

Matthew A -

This is not the right battery for the device.

Alex Fernandez-Gatti -

Careful, this is not the right battery - at least not the internal battery of the Oasis 2016.

Nikkoura -

Like others, I cannot find the battery anywhere. Anyone have a link?

pauliex -

The link given was the incorrect battery. Is it available anywhere?

Donald Johnson -

Did you find one? I got mine on Amazon with a little kit for about $30. It seems to be working.

Keith Buhler -

Is the Kindle Oasis likely to still be waterproof after battery replacement? I can sense a bit of a gap in the plastic where I dug it open.

Keith Buhler -

Please help me find the battery, mine is dead

Sandro Ænima -

Thanks for the heads up on that Nat Whilk,

Unfortunately for me the postage cost for delivery to Australia is $US132!!!!

Probably on account of the danger of transporting LiOn

I contacted Amazon and they could not provide me with either an Amazon link or a third party and when I sent them your link they told me to order it and that they would reimburse me the postage cost.

I asked them to give that to me in writing and they did, but I am a bit iffy about dropping $AU230 and praying that they keep up their end of the bargain.

Aresti Asprogerakas -

How do you take the cover off the charging cover to replace the cover battery on this Oasis?

Joan Huston -

The batter can be found on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/294095223324?ss...

John L -

How about kindle oasis 2/3 replacement battery ?

Phạm Nguyễn Sơn Tùng -

I used this to change my kindle battery. Very helpful. I wasn't able to open the case with th plastic pry tool. After trying and not getting anywhere, I resorted to a very small flat screwdriver. This worked! Used the plastic tool the rest of the way.
