Sorry, I made a think'o in that post, have corrected it now.
Not the Wi-Fi modem, the 3G modem is the one that pulls a very high current during transmit.
But your point may be correct - no telling what state the system is in after "partial boots".
All we want to do is find out if a good battery "will fix it" - before spending the bucks on a new battery.
Don't expect the Kindle's battery management chip to be able to keep those external batteries re-charged - it is "programmed" for Li-Ion.
