Jitto · 05-12-2012, 08:31 AM

Hey guys,

I have a 3rd gen Kindle which I have been using for more than a year. In January I was starting college so I felt that I wouldn't be reading as much from my kindle so I shut it down rather than just putting it to sleep. The weird thing is that after a couple of months when i took it out it was showing the critical battery error.

My question is this - How can the battery be drained if I had completely shut down my kindle? Secondly, is this a normal occurrence and how can i prevent it from happening again?

Hope some of you can help me out with this.
