But I'm not so sure I'm right that I have to wonder about those who disagree. There's not a lot of certainty here and a lot of us have a lot of faith in Amazon.

My way of looking at it is that the Voyage and the Oasis use good quality batteries. That being equal, the Oasis battery is 1/6th the size of the Voyage battery. That means the Oasis will need to be charged 6 times more than the Voyage. We know that these batteries can take only so many charges before we notice they don't hold a charge all that well. The Oasis will show this much sooner than the Voyage.

If I am wrong, someone please explain why. I don't think I am, but if I am, I'd like to know why.
