Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide will show you how to replace the battery in an Amazon Kindle DX. Kindle batteries can last many years, but it may be necessary to replace a battery if its performance is at an unbearable level. Rechargeable batteries of any kind can be tricky, and there can be many causes to the worsening of a battery’s health.
Some of these causes could be overcharging or undercharging. Overcharging may result from frequent usage of a device and undercharging may result from an extended period of time without access to a charger. Other possible issues may result from charging the battery to full capacity too often and also using the battery until it dies on a regular basis. Batteries are still not perfectly understood, however, so it is not often easy to pinpoint causes for deterioration of battery health.

Thank you very much for a comprehensive guide. Especially the measurements for where to insert the screwdrivers were very helpful! Kind regards - Jakob
Anybody got a working link to a battery that fits?
@mzandrew https://ebay.io/m/BYxk8c worked for me. I found that prying from near the power slide switch is easier than from the back.
