While the Kindle uses a special type of battery that requires less priming and special care, it has its limitations; turning it on before charging it will likely not cause extensive damage, but proper care of your Kindle's battery can make it last much longer. The Kindle uses a lithium polymer battery, which is used in many portable devices for its small size and long battery life.
Unlike other batteries, such as nickel cadmium, it does not need to be primed or charged for a certain time before its first use. However, overcharging -- keeping it plugged in at full charge -- or discharging it too much can quickly ruin the battery. It also needs to be stored at half charge, which is why new devices are partially charged when they're shipped.
Doesn't that disappear when the battery is fully charged? You're welcome. If the green light is on, it means it's fully charged. The lightning bolt just means it's plugged in and charging. Unplug it and it will go away and the battery icon will show it's full.
Thank you. This question is closed. Not finding what you're looking for? Find your Amazon product and ask a question. Did this solve your issue? The Kindle Paperwhite 4 has a slightly different description:. Fully charges in approximately 4 hours from a computer via USB cable or fully charges in less than 3 hours with a 5W USB power adapter. I did these charge tests twice for each model and both times the end results were nearly identical. That sounds about right on the Oasis.
I just got one for Black Friday and noted the charge time. This it the proper way to quickly charge a lithium-ion battery.
I guess better to hedge their bets and overestimate the charge time than the other way around.
