Make sure your wifi and bluetooth is turned off when not in use because these running in the backround will drain the battery much faster. Turn your unit off when not in use instead of leaving in sleep mode. Make sure your charger is made for the kindle because not all chargers are charging the battery correctly. If you already do these things then it probably is your battery.
Go to directfix.com and at the top of the page click on "repair directions". Scroll down to the fourth item "Android". Click on the "select repair video" and choose the 12th item down "kindle fire teardown". This should help you with replacing the battery. You can google where to purchase the battery with the proper tool needed to open your unit. Hope this helps.

The only real ways are to 1)Install Android and keep it connected to the charging USB cable. You lose the original Amazon OS and the free Amazon Prime movies. or 2)Install a new battery, There are YouTube videos showing you how. I chose method ! and I'm having fun learning Android KitKat 4.4.2

New battery for Kindle Fire?

Step 1 - Back Case


  • Wedge a plastic opening tool into the lower right corner of the Kindle Fire.
  • Pry the case apart and run the plastic opening tool along the perimeter of the Kindle Fire to release the clips securing the case halves to each other.
  • If you are having extreme difficulty inserting the plastic opening tool, carefully use a metal spudger to undo the first clip, then switch back to the opening tool to avoid scratching your case.
    • It is helpful to pry the bottom of the Kindle Fire away (and out from the side) from the top part. Exerting too much force attempting to split the two without pulling away can cause the tabs on the inside to crack.
Step 2
  • Once you have freed all the plastic clips, pull the back case off the Kindle Fire.
Step 3 - Battery
  • Fit the tip of the plastic opening tool between the right battery cell and the Kindle Fire's frame.
  • Lever the battery up and work the plastic opening tool down along its edge to release the glue securing it to the frame.
  • step 4
  • Repeat the process from the previous step to free the left battery cell.
Step 5
  • Lift the back of the battery up to relieve any tension in the battery connector and simultaneously use a spudger to push the battery connector out of its socket.
  • Pull the battery out of the Kindle Fire.
