Graph shows drastic changes in battery consumption, without any apparent reason. "Device idle" accounts for the majority (70-80%) of the consumption.
2. Charging via PC: battery status suddenly jumps to 100% (e.g. from 74%), and stops charging. After immediate reboot, the battery status is back down, i.e. full battery was misreported.
I will try to reinstall 1.8.2 and report back.

Update for the benefit of those having similar problems: my power issues seem to have been caused by a faulty battery. I wrote to ereader-store.de and included a photo of the erratic battery behavior. They replied within a few hours (!) and confirmed it's probably the battery. They offered to send me a new battery or to send it in for repair. I chose the former, and a few days later the battery arrived. I managed to replace it without major issues (it was a bit hard to remove the old battery due to very strong two-sided sticky tape underneath) and after a full charge the problem seems to have been solved.
Considering that my 2-year warranty expired a few months ago, I think Ereader-Store have been really professional in resolving my problem. I will definitely keep them on top of my list for future Onyx purchases.
