    new battery for iRex DR-800 eReader

    I am using a very old iRex DR-800 eReader and it is still in the working condition. I am actually looking to buy a new battery for this ebook reader because it seems that the battery is getting drained after 2-3 hours of usage. So, does anyone know from where can I buy a new battery for my iRex DR-800 reader? Thanks

    Well, do you use 3g networks alot of time on your iRex DR-800 eReader. If yes, then you can try to turn off the 3G radio that will definitely lengthen the battery life of your ebook reader. However, I dont expect that the battery life of DR-800 eReader is shorter than any other devices compared like the Kindle or Sony ebook reader. The battery should work for 1-2 days full at 3g networks.

    You have a pretty old ebook reader there and I dont know whether any battery is available for sale or not. However, you can try to update the firmware of your iRex DR-800 eReader which might help in improving the battery performance or such. Just put the contents from this link on your SD card located at X:\System\update. You will notice the file extensions as .bin and .dat files. After that restart your ereader and it will automatically update to this latest firmware.

    Since your ebook reader is very old I dont think there might be anyony selling a new battery for ex DR-800 eReader. However, you can try your luck by searching at Ebay or Amazon for used battery of iRex DR-800. If it is in working condition then you can buy it if you want or else try to take it to a ebook repair store and see if the battery problem can be solved or not.
