If you load lots of books all at once, each book has to index. Indexing uses lots of power. If just one book is 'stuck' the battery will continue draining fast and indexing will be stuck too.
Try to load just one book a day to avoid fast battery consumption. This will also make the transfer speed irrelevant.
When indexing, the battery is still being used in sleep mode because the kindle is still doing work. I mentioned above how to check to see if your reader is indexing.
I would suggest that you do a factory reset (check this site for how to do this) then start loading books far more slowly. Keep the kindle attached to a source of power for a few hours after loading the book. This speeds indexing and keeps the battery topped up.
I think the entire cause of the problems you're having is loading so many books at once.

The way to check if there is as book stuck indexing, do a search in all the books for something that's not in any of the books such as a random characters. Then you'll see if there is a stuck book or not. The only problem is you won't know which book is stuck. That way it's best to load books on a kindle in small batches like 10-20 at a time. And keep note of the books in that batch so you can delete them from the Kindle if a book does get stuck indexing. Then you can try to figure out which book got stuck.
