Kindle Charger
Power Up Your Kindle

A Kindle charger is a must-have accessory for every Amazon Kindle user. After all, you can’t use a Kindle without a battery, and you can’t power up a battery without a charger.

A Kindle charger is not just any ordinary charger; it has to work with the battery of your device and fit into the available port found in your device. So if you need a charger for your Amazon ebook reader, you should look for one made specifically for the Kindle.

The Kindle 1 and Kindle 2 also have different batteries. The Kindle 2’s battery is an upgraded version of the Kindle 1’s battery; the Kindle 2 battery can last up to 2 weeks on one charge when the wireless feature is turned off, while the Kindle 1 battery can only last up to 4 days.

It was a significant update, which means the batteries for the two devices are extremely different, so you cannot use the same charger for them. So when buying, you also have to specify the model of your Kindle.

Charging at Home: AC/Wall Charger

If you’re looking for an additional charger you can use at home, you have plenty of AC/wall charger options. There are regular chargers and there are rapid chargers as well. The regular charging time of the Kindle takes around 4 hours, but you can shorten this with a rapid charger. Amazon releases genuine chargers for its Kindle but you can also avail of chargers from other brands.

One of the bestselling on Amazon.com is the Gomadic AC/Wall charger with high current output for fast charging times. It uses an advanced internal circuitry that prevents power surges that can damage your device. The charger also comes with a lifetime warranty and can be used on both foreign and domestic power outlets.

Charging on the Go: Car Charger

One of the most useful types of charger is a car/auto charger. A car/auto charger allows you to refill your Kindle’s battery power even when you’re not at home and only has access to your car’s power supply.

Gomadic’s rapid car charger for the Amazon Kindle 2 scores 5 stars from Amazon.com. The durable high-output rapid charger can fit the cigarette lighter ports found in most foreign and domestic vehicles.

Charging Light: Travel Charger

If you travel a lot and often bring your Amazon Kindle along for the trip, make sure your Kindle is all geared up. It would help if you buy yourself a travel charger that’s lighter and more portable, such as the slim-type chargers, so it won’t take up much space in your suitcase.

Amazon’s 5-star white rapid home travel charger with IC chip is a bestselling unit for its lightweight and slim body. The Kindle charger is very affordable but works reliably. It can be used for both the Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX.

Fast USB Charging: USB Cable Adapter

You can also use your Kindle’s USB cable as a charger; all you need is an adapter that you can attach to the USB port and plug into an ordinary socket. This lessens the number of accessories you need to maintain your Kindle.

It pays to have an additional Kindle charger around. If you want to avail of one, you can choose from any of these available options.
