Yes, I've never had issues with my Oasis 3 battery. Don't believe it's all of them.

Thanks, good to know, now they are out of them. But if they come back, I'll pick one up.

Battery Drain solution(for me)
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!

Unplug then plug in again. It should then fully charge. My phone does this foolishness sometimes.

You might get Amazon to do it for free. I had issues with the ads on one of mine and they did it for free.

Good to know. I just bought an Oasis. I've always been one to use Kindles in airplane mode. I only cut on wi-fi to download a book.

*sigh* I wish I saw your message before I paid it. Battery still took a significant hit without ADs and wifi on, but nowhere near as bad. I'm satisfied with Airplane mode + Dark mode.

AD as advertisement? If so, this should not affect non special offer devices, right?

Yes, advertisement. When I first read it, my first though was Amazon ereaders are connecting to Active Directory?

Honestly, it seems to me like sufficiently modern Kindles on sufficiently modern firmware sometimes get into a state where they drain the battery even if plugged in and the only way out is to restart them.

It seems to be related to loading books and my guess is the CPU ends up stuck at the full clock speed rather than throttling back to the idle speed.
