Buy Badass Battery Manager Pro for the Kindle Fire. Its main screen shows screen usage in hours, minutes and seconds. I measure usage since the Last Full Charge. That can be set in the Settings.
Then, when you reach the 15% warning, record the usage number from the BBBM main screen. For me that always reaches about 5 hours and 30 minutes. That was true before the upgrade and after it.
At 15% usage left, my BBBM shows about one hour left of battery usage. That means my total battery life is 6 hours and 30 minutes. That number has not changed.
I've never used any apps not authorized for the Kindle Fire in the Amazon App store.
