Restore the legendary battery life of your Kobo Libra H2O eReader with this PR-158098N 1200mAh replacement battery. Released in September 2019, the Libra H2O quickly became a favorite among book lovers for its 7-inch E Ink Carta display (with ComfortLight for night reading), physical page-turn buttons, lightweight 192g design, and IPX8 waterproof rating — allowing you to read in the bath, by the pool, or in the rain without worry. The original 1200mAh battery delivers up to 32 hours of continuous reading or weeks of daily use on a single charge. After 4-5 years of daily reading, the original Li-ion battery has likely degraded significantly. This replacement battery restores the full 1200mAh capacity, bringing back the freedom to read for weeks without reaching for a charger. Built with Grade A cells and multi-layer safety protection against overcharge, over-discharge, short circuit, and overcurrent. CE, RoHS, and UN38.3 certified for safety.
Why eReader Battery Replacement Matters — And What Makes Kobo Libra H2O Special: The Kobo Libra H2O was designed for avid readers who value distraction-free reading and portability. After years of use, battery degradation is the most common issue owners face. Typical symptoms include: needing to charge the eReader weekly instead of monthly, the device showing “low battery” after just a few hours of reading, the battery percentage dropping rapidly from 30-40% to empty, or the eReader failing to power on despite being charged. This replacement PR-158098N battery is an identical match to the original “158089” size cell (approximately 1.5mm × 80mm × 89mm), using the same 1200mAh capacity and 3.7V nominal voltage with 4.2V charge limit. The eReader supports standard 5V/1A charging via Micro-USB — a full charge takes approximately 2-3 hours. With a cycle life of 500-800 full charge cycles retaining 80% capacity, this replacement battery is designed for long-term durability. The IPX8 waterproof rating is a key feature of the Libra H2O — it can be submerged in up to 2 meters of water for up to 60 minutes. This battery replacement maintains compatibility with the waterproof design when properly installed. Rather than buying a new eReader for $150-200, replacing the battery is a cost-effective way to extend the life of a device that still performs perfectly. This battery also works as a direct replacement for the OEM PR-158098N battery found in many Kobo Libra H2O units. Third-party retailers sell this battery for approximately $29 to $53 — our price offers excellent value.
Compatibility Note: Fits Kobo Libra H2O eReader only. NOT compatible with Kobo Libra 2, Kobo Clara series, Kobo Aura, or other Kobo models. The PR-158098N battery may come in different connector variants (no plug, 2-wire plug, or 4-wire plug) — please check your original battery connector type before ordering. The device has an IPX8 waterproof rating — professional installation is recommended to maintain water resistance after replacement.
