Can anybody have some solution?

The Libra H2O came out in 2019 and was discontinued in 2021, so your two-year old device was either old stock or used. In any case, it didn’t have a two-year old battery.
I get that it’s frustrating, but having a four- to six-year old battery die isn’t unprecedented, although I agree that it’s early. I have two Kobos that are over ten years old and they still have adequate battery life.

Saying that in two years your problem will be solved really isn’t a solution!
