Gentlefolk;

The battery on my K2 was low due to some indexing from downloads. Brought it home and plugged it into the AC outlet and let it charge overnight. Came up today to transfers the books over to the desktop, and the kindle displayed a Critical Battery notice indicating that the K2 had to be plugged into a power source. The battery was dead.

The K2 was in sleep mode during the charge, no whispernet activity going on, so now I am throughly confused.

The charge status light was not on when I came into the office. It usu. is green when fully charged. It was not on at all. The unit was plugged into a computer UPS, but we have had no power outages and the UPS was working correctly.

Ideas?

Thanks!

DonW
