However, the Kindle Fire gives a low battery usage signal at 15%. That is way OVER the original estimates of just 7 hours of battery usage between recharges. Shutting down at night ends all processes for that period.īadass Battery Monitor will need several charge cycles to produce an average battery life which will still be influenced by the initial short battery cycle after installation to the first charge.Īt the present time my current battery usage is 6% with 94% remaining and reflects 52 minutes of use with a projected life to the next charge of 11 hours. Kindle services excluding the Screen but including WiFi are active in sleep mode. Reading eBooks and playing chess on the Kindle Fire use negligible amounts of juice. The Kindle System, Screen, Launcher, Kernel and AppStore combined use 75.42% of my battery consumption. Thus, most of the battery usage is done by Kindle services just opening the Kindle Fire.
Badass Battery Manager uses 1.32% and the AppStore uses 1.26%. My eReading (Amazon Kindle) only uses 0.18% while the Launcher and Kernel use 1.37% each.
Its worth it to me to leave WiFi on since I sync a lot between my Fire and 3rd Gen Kbd. Since installing Badass Battery Monitor, I'm getting a result that the Kindle System uses 47% of my battery consumption while the screen uses 24.42% and WiFi uses 22.46%.
