Exclamation Kindle Oasis Battery Problem
I suspect that this was probably self caused. My Kindle Oasis from 2019 has developed a swollen battery, causing the bezel to separate from the metal case, worst in the corner with the charging port. I normally read in one spot in the house and have made a habit of leaving the charging cable permanently attached. Apparently not a good idea as this is my first Kindle reader that developed this problem. I did have a similar problem develop with a Kindle Fire keyboard that was also left charging permanently so continuous charging appears to be a NO NO with lithium polymer batteries.

Thanks for the warning. I have an aging Oasis 3, battery life diminishing. I'll make sure to keep to best practices and not leave it plugged in.

There are 3 things that are known to kill LiPOs:

Constant charging

Left uncharged/discharged for a long time

Letting it get hot
