Just to check. It was fully charged when you plugged it in to the PC. You added a few books and disconnected it. It then imported the books and when finished, the battery level was 50%
Is that correct?
If so, it is sort of expected. The the book import process uses a lot of power. The device searches for new books, checks if the existing books has changed and removes them from the database, then it opens each new book to get the metadata and ToC, updates the database, then generates covers for three of them (to display in the "My Books" tile). And for epubs, that is opening the book and rendering the start to get the first page. If you put enough books on the device in one batch, it could run the battery out.
Add to the above, if a book is causing the problem you are seeing, opening it for the above can actually trigger the problem.
