So Gurus, do you think this is the proper way to get rid of my battery drain problem?

--

Ok I followed my own post about updating, everything even Linkss, Phyton, Kual, etc,

Ill charge the battery anf I'll post the results,

Thanks Again Shalym!

UPDATE:

I full charged the device last friday,
I didnt use at all,
I checked the battery level this morning, and show a 90% remaining, so,

There is a little improvement, but it isnt like months before, it should be 95% remaining at least!

This could be a "old battery" situation? should I give up and replace the battery when it gets worse? (like 5 days of lasting)

There is anything else I can do?

It might be an "old battery" situation.
I would not expect any problems for an age less than two years.

But there are just so many factors that could effect the battery lifetime, that the two year rule above is just a guess.

I bought it at November 2013, 2 years and a half... so, I guess it is a "planned obsolescence" thing...

... can you lead me to a good battery replacement or upgrade? a 2000 mah could be great. Serial Code is B0D4.

I skipped the PW-2 and KV models in my collection, so I don't have any direct replacements.

I do have some 2600mah external packs with built-in solar panel to recharge them (or recharge from USB port or wall charger).

You should be far enough south that there isn't any shortage of sunlight to keep the external pack charged.

I was talking about a website where to buy a good battery upgrade,

By the way, which reader is your favorite? and which are you using now?

Anyone get a Kindle recently? Need to get my 5.6.5 Kindle replaced and was wondering if the new one coming would have 5.7.x on it.

And you are planning to purchase from what Vendor?
Kindles can be purchased from other than Amazon.
And even Amazon has multiple geographic locations (with different stock on-hand).

From Amazon in the US - no more 5.6.5

From somewhere else, 5.6.5 on a KV as recently as three days ago.

Well it's a replacement so it's from Amazon. Not really bothered by it. Only really jailbroke for the custom screensavers.

I ordered a PW from Amazon 2 weeks ago and it should arrive in my country sometime next week. If the firmware for the PW is higher than 5.6.5, can I downgrade the firmware (via the direct download link to firmware 5.6.5) to jailbreak it? Sorry I've no clue as I'm coming from Kobo and it's my first time to jailbreak anything.

You could try, and report back what happens.
But don't expect it to do anything but report "error 012".

The Thread says
"A simpler method of accessing the initial jailbreak is described here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=3265373
"
To me this means I can start from there with my Kindle Voyage jailbreak, OK, great!
I go to the post and see:

If all contents of a folder "jb" from archive "jb.zip" copy in Kindle-root, and then to enter in an address line of browser this local address - jailbreak worked without problems:
file:///mnt/us/index.html

which doesn't make sense to me at all (not only technically but also English-wise)
Any help, please? How should I start?

The link to the new directions is there, but the link to the post with the jailbreak archive is hidden. Ooops.
