1) Disabling battery management, so that the user has to manage the battery charging while plugged in, does not sound very convent to me.
(plus, how many users know how to even check the battery status while plugged in - not even you know that, see: #3)
2) Running ssh sets a "wake lock" in the kernel internals, it is locked awake.
The battery of a Kindle only gives a 2 to 3 hour run-time on a single charge.
You might consider that a "long" ssh session, but others consider a "long" ssh session measuring in weeks.
3) There is a command for that purpose, does not require plug/un-plug.
Keep looking, you will find it.
4) You would rather let the Wifi run down the battery?
That does not sound like the best alternative.
5) Why would that make a difference?
The system is still locked awake while using ssh.
6) The battery management system in a Kindle isn't sophisticated enough to do the same sort of management you can expect on an electric car with a $10,000 battery.
(And a correspondingly sophisticated battery management system).
7) There is a fool born every minute.
So you have to consider that some of those are readers of this site when posting here.
