My old Kindle Touch had the same issue.
DON'T buy a new battery unless you have a no-questions-asked return warranty.
I paid fine money for a battery ... only to find out that it was the motherboard. And how did I know? I got a second Kindle Touch. Battery works very well (a month of battery life) on new Kindle Touch, while the old one would either refuse to turn on, or would die spontaneously seconds after power-on.
But a new (used?) motherboard is cheap. A certain website (I won't be naming it to avoid sponsoring a particular brand) offers them for $3.
