I was about to complain that my Paperwhite only lasts a couple of days between charges (it shuts down when battery drops to ~50%) but then realized that I've had it 7-8 years. No Indian heat here though, I'm in the UK.

I replaced the battery after using the kindle Paperwhite for 7+ years. And now its battery life is as good as the new one's.
