So while I was ordering a replacement charger, I ordered a spare battery for my K1. I got worried that they would disappear (as much K1 stuff is!) and I'd be outta luck.
So how do I store it? Fridge? Freezer? Stuff drawer? My current battery is fine -- this is just in case. So I won't need it for a while (hopefully).

Cool, dry location. Please don't ever, ever put a battery in the freezer.

Anyone know if I can get a spare battery for a K2? Do I have to pop the bonnet?

You can't get one for the K2. One of several mistakes they made (IMHO) w/ the K2. You have to send it back to them if the battery dies and they replace it.

Actually, you can get a battery for the K2 and replace it yourself. Here's a link someone posted awhile back: K2 Replacement Battery |

I got a spare K1 battery a few months ago. I charged it up in my Kindle and then put it back in its box and in the refrigerator--not the freezer, though. I replaced my original battery with it about 3 weeks ago, after letting it come to room temperature first. It registered fully charged when I put it in my Kindle, but I charged it anyway. I'm not sure if this is all what you're supposed to do, but the battery is working great so far. BTW, I charged up the original battery and put it in the refrigerator too. You never know when a short-life battery might come in handy! N |

I don't know. Hubby recommended it. I defer to him on all such matters...but not much else! I'll ask him, though. N |
