I should boot it over to the original Nook HD+ side and see how long the battery lasts that way, I suppose.

After speaking to Tech Support at Barnes & Noble, I recently did a complete reset on my Nook HD+ because my battery life was very erratic, as others in this thread have described. For me, it would do the following:
- Go from fully charged, to a charge warning (at about 5% of a charge) after a short time of use.
- After plugging it in and fully charging it, after removing the cord the charge would drop to around 50%. Removing the cord and plugging it back in would continue the charging process.
After resetting my Nook HD+, I avoided installing an app I had that monitored battery life (it was originally for my NookColor and there was no indication that it was incompatible with the Nook HD+) and other potentially battery-draining apps to see if that was part of the problem. Still, it didn't seem to solve the problem (it went from over 90% to a charge warning after about 15 minutes of use).
Due to this, I've returned to using my NookColor as my main ereader. It doesn't seem to have the battery issues that I had with my Nook HD+, dropping to about 85% after 2 days of moderate use without a charge.
