Yes, I wanted to do that, but at the time I couldn't come up with a neat way of connecting the cables to the battery. What I did instead was to attach my leads to the battery connector of the kindle. A bit ugly, I know, but it doesn't look like I've burned anything.
What Ill do next, instead, is to remove the battery and attach my power supply directly to the kindle. That way I can see (on my fancy power supply) how much current it's taking.
Can someone clarify that only the +/- terminals of the battery are used? I tried to connect a 'scope to the SDA/SDC terminals, but I never saw anything move.
