Hi all, not sure if this help, but this is what I tried to solve my battery drain issue. My Kindle Oasis 10th gen battery would drain from 100% to 18% in under 24 hours. I asked for a warranty replacement from Amazon and I still had the battery drain problem with my new Kindle.

My Solution:
If you're on wifi, charge your Kindle and turn on Airplane mode. After doing this my battery life was great. 1-2% drain over a few hours. My Kindle was repeatedly trying to hit Amazon's AD servers every couple seconds killing the battery (This was the server name for the tech savvy unagi-na.amazon.com). In my case my firewall was blocking this URL. I'm still testing, but you may have to cough up the $20 for the AD free option to stop this then turn on WIFI again. Hope this helps!
