Someone is selling a 2013 Paperwhite, says it's still in the original box. So I assume the battery would be pretty much discharged.

I want to check if it's not DOA, and do it quickly when I get it rather than have to try to get a refund later. If I used a phone backup battery, could I plug the Kindle cable into it -- if it was completely discharged, how long before I could expect it to boot up?
