Concerning the power adpter: the one supplied with the Nexus 7 works just fine. I guess any USB charger with enough power (both Nook and Nexus 7 are 2000 mA) will work.

the adapter from my galaxy notes 2 and 10.1 will not charge the hd+ at all, not even a trickle.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] leapinlar:
If it is like the Nook Color, the charger block needs the data+- pins shorted before it will charge properly. That said, I have both the Color and HD/HD+. The HD/HD+ charger block will charge the Color but the Color block will not charge the HD/HD+.

No charger for my nook hd+ on holiday

Hi,

I would like to request some help from you guys. I am on holiday in Canada (I'm from the UK) and neglected to take my Nook hd+ usb charger, only the cable. You know when you go on holiday and keep thinking to yourself that you forgot something, well for me it was the plug in charger. I have used multiple high output usb devices (supposedly 2A) but none of them have given any juice to my HD+, only a pleasant green light where I plug in the cable and 2 mins ago after leaving it plugged in all day it just gave a message to plug in my device. Is there any alternative charger available generally that anybody has had experience with that will charge the HD+? Can anybody otherwise advise me how to easily and effectively short the + and - on a charger without endangering the house where I staying as a guest?

Other than the issue with the generic charger I love the Nook hd+ but it is clear that Barnes & Noble have purposely crippled the HD+ to stop it charging from any device other than the original charger.

Your kind consideration of the above sad tale would be worshipfully appreciated.

Zagg SPARQ2.0 portable USB 4000mAh battery pack works well

I have found that the portable twin USB socketed battery charger from Zagg, the SPARQ2.0 will happily charge my HD+ from its second port. Although not from the first port. It charges my HD+ at what seems to be the full speed too.

The SPARQ2.0 has a pair of US mains socket prongs that fold out in order to charge the battery pack itself. These may allow for direct charging whilst being fed from the mains, but I haven't tried that yet.

Discovering this ability has been a huge relief to me. As I live in the UK and couldn't source an alternative PSU that didn't involved postage from the US, plus potential import duties hassle.

I have 2 Nook HD+ and here is my experience.

Both my Nook HD+ can be charged by adapters of Nook Color (1.5A output), Samsung Galaxy S (1.0A output) and Toshiba notebook USB port (0.5A output) with Nook HD+ proprietary 30-pin USB cable. Of course, it takes longer charging time with 1.0A and 0.5A adapters but definitely works.

My Nook Color can be charged by adapters of Nook HD+ (2.0A output), Samsung Galaxy S (1.0A output) and Toshiba notebook USB port (0.5A output) with Nook color original USB cable.

My Samsung Galaxy S phone can be charged by adapters of Nook HD+, Nook Color and Toshiba notebook USB port with generic micro USB cable.

My conclusion, the Nook HD+ and Nook Color can be definitely charged by any USB adapters and port. The difference is faster or slower charging time depended on the current output.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] sabanook:
My HD+ can be charged by Nexus 4 USB power adapter but not by my iPad2 USB power adapter (both original).
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] leapinlar:
As I stated earlier, it is NOT just the charger capacity that makes difference, it is the status of the data pins in the charging block that the HD/HD+ can detect that determines the charge rate. And you are right, all will charge, it is just the charge rate that varies.

On the topic of the charging cable... is everyone's charging cable as loose as mine? I just picked up an HD+ a couple days ago, and the one thing that bothers me most is that the charging cable is so loose that it is extremely difficult to use the nook while it charges - the cable will come out just enough that it stops charging (and I generally don't even notice). Is this a known issue, or should I try to exchange mine or get my cable replaced?

I report the same with "New Trent: NT120C CarbonPak - (12000mAh) Dual USB Ports External Battery Pack" - charges at what seems to me full speed off one of the two ports. My Sero 7 Pro distinguishes the two ports also - saying one is USB Charging and the other is AC Charging.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] hirent:
The one on mine is actually pretty tight.

I have to grasp it firmly and pull with a slight force to remove it.

It definitely does not come out or disconnect on its own.

And I have no problems using it while charging.

Maybe mine is an anomaly and all of them are kinda loose in the socket.

It might be worth it to take it to your local B&N store and plugging in their display model cable into your Nook device and vice versa.

Good Luck!

Goal Zero Nomad 7 solar battery is tested with Nook HD on moderate sunlight.

The indicators says "Not charging", but battery mettering statistics says - yes, it charges! But slooowww!

Probably too late to help you, but in a pinch you can charge from most cellphone chargers that have usb jack. Also, a laptop or computer USB port will charge, and will actually charge pretty quickly is you have a USB3 port.

Mine is also snug in addition to the other guy's. I can hold the nook hd+ upsidedown while pinching the charger and it stays connected. Take a look at the charging and make sure on the left and right sides of the metal have these small pointed metal triangles sticking out. They help lock the nook cable into the charging port of the nook. Those might be stuck inside the metal housing of the connector. If they arent then it might be on your HD+ port's end where the problem is.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] Colt77:
That's weird, cause the adapter from my SGN2 charges my HD+ at the same rate as the original one.

One a side note, the Apple adapter for iPad4 does not charge my Nook.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] merchant2112:
ok the stock charger is 5v 2a output.

ive have tried the following

my dead nexus 7's charger (5v 2a output works with the stock nook hd cable.)

my rav power 7800 mah dynamo on the go charger adapter dose not work its 5v less than 1a out) BUT port 2 on the rav power pack is 5v 2a out and it charges the nook with the stock cable.

i have 2 LG 5v 1amp out usb chargers for old lg phones they both charge the nook with the stock cable.

so im going to get the car charger kit as it comes with a cable and i will have a car charger adapter when i need it and a spare cable as well

so it looks like it just needs a good 5v 1amp or higher out put charger. i have gigabyte motherboards with the new high power charger port usb ill give them a try and see if they will charge the nook with the stock cable

So... still no alternatives to the power cable? Would be nice to know the pinout so we can make a 30pin-to-female-microUSB adapter, and a toggle switch to short the data+- pins, so we can connect any microUSB cable to charge it.

Has anyone tested the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 30-pin USB cable with the HD+?
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] RGM79:
...Guys, most 30 pin connectors for media devices are not standardized nor universal. They are usually not cross-compatible between different manufacturers' brands. The main reason many tablets and media devices are designed to have proprietary 30 pin connectors instead of the standard USB connector is that the manufacturer doesn't want people being able to connect lots of different/unauthorized third party accessories or cables, typically because they want people to buy their own branded accessories. The best known example are Apple's connector cables with a special chip inside that exists solely to prevent people from buying cheap cables to use with iPods and iPhones.

In other words? The Nook HD+ has a unique port/cable design that is intentionally made so that it'd be hard to find cheap third party alternatives. Unless someone finds a charging cable specifically mentioned to be compatible with the Nook HD's 30 pin connector, it's unlikely to work. So unless some company decides to actually have a go at it and make a third party cable for the Nook HD, the only solution is to buy the official cable or if one is technically inclined enough, figure out the pinouts and rig up their own cable.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] artesea:
They have 30 pin adapters because the manufacturers believe that you will want to use the 20 different accessories they have planned, including the keyboard, mouse and hdmi all in one output. However most of these never appear after the press day, and if they do no one buys them.

At least if they stuck to a common format it wouldn't be too bad.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] dubidu:
The 30 pin plug for the usb/charge cable only has 4 pins so if you plan to get one and do a DYI wiring job your own beware (I guess the HDMI one has more).

I did open one to do a 30pin to usb adapter so I didn't have to carry the nook cable around. :)
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] gwlaw99:
If an OEM power charger works with the Nexus 7, does that mean it will work with the HD+?
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] Classpro:
No. Hd+ is pickier than my Nexus 7. If I short the data pins the N7 will charge with anything. Hd+ won't. Not sure why.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] Hoverbored:
Wouldn't it make more sense that it is the charging cube, and not the cable that is 'special'? The same cable works - SLOWLY - with a PC's USB port @ .5A, but NOT with most 2A wall charge cubes. Yet, plug the same cable into the B&N supplied cube... Voila!

So if the Nook HD+ is set to only accept higher amperages if certain pins are grounded/have a charge on them/are crossed... SOMETHING... that that something special is happening INSIDE the B&N Nook HD+ cube, and not in the cable?

Guess what I'm thinking is, would a standard USB extension cable, with constituent wires separated somewhere in the middle {break-out box style} yield interesting results?
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] slow_mo_panda:
Oh for Pete's Sake!! :(

I just want to know WHERE TO GET A CHEAP REPLACEMENT CABLE??? I am not interested in ruining my HD+ by making some weird McGyver'd cord myself, or by trying to stick some random brand cable connector in it. I bought my HD+ 'Lightly Used' and under the impression everything worked great, like the ad said. Unfortunately, not only did I notice right away that the cord I have is extremely bendable/loose/worn on the ends where the connectors are, and it charges slowly and disconnects from my laptop frequently during data transfer, but now I also find out that the battery is almost DEAD. It barely holds a charge for 12 hours with almost NO USE, and if I watch a movie, I am lucky to get through it before the battery is already dead!

Anyone know if I can call B&N and get them to send me, at the least, a free replacement cord? Where can I get a cheap replacement battery? And I saw another thread about good portable batteries for this tablet, so does anyone know of a good, affordable battery pack I can just take along to charge with? On the other hand, if I can just use my VERY nice Moto car charger in the car, and then plug in the Nook to an outlet almost anywhere else, it may not be necessary. But I WILL need a new cord, and a new replaced battery would make this thing actually useable!

-Thanks guys!

some investigations...

I bought Nook HD+ some time ago and also faced with charging troubles. Then I tried to find a reason and here are results:

1) Original Nook Charger, 5.1V 2.0A

Nook is charging normally, LED color - amber.

Then I have put a piece of paper on D+ and D- of USB (D+ and D- seems to be connected in original charger, so I have broke this wire) and connected it to Nook. Nook is not charging. LED color - green.

2) Another one charger, 5.0V 2.1A

Nook is not charging, LED color - green.

Then I have connected D+ and D- of USB (in this charger D+ and D- seems to be not connected, so I have connected them) and connect it to Nook. Nook is still not charging, but now LED color - amber.

3) My phone charger, 5.0V 0.85A

Nook is charging, LED color - amber. Charge speed is good enough (I have charged about 5-6% during about 10-15 min).

Have anybody ideas what a trick could be with D+ and D- in original charger?
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] leapinlar:
Measure the voltages on D+ and D-. On the Galaxy Tab charger, it has resisters and connections to the power + that puts voltages on them. The device senses those voltages to be sure the correct charger is attached.

Haven't found any alternative cables yet.

But I use a PISEN power supply adapter for PlayStation Vita, and it allows Nook HD+ to charge on other USB chargers.

But be careful if your non-Nook charger's mA is too low, because the Nook HD+ will attempt to draw a high current.

I'll add my own observations here as they don't seem to match some observations by others.

So I have tried my Nook HD+ with a bunch of chargers I have lying around.

All chargers I have from Android devices seem to be fully recognized and charge at full rate, these include a samsung charger from Galaxy S3, Nexus4 charger, HP Touchpad charger.

All chargers for iDevices charge worse than a proper usb port in a PC, almost like 100mA (but might be a bit more than that really).

USB port in a computer charges at 500mA (as expected).

The actual charging rate could be seen from a battery driver, my charger control app (and probably plenty of others in the market) shows the battery reporting rate to remove any doubt out of this.

Additionally the charger control lets you to force higher rate charging for some chargers and for computer USB ports (Assuming the computer supports it).

a pleasant surrprise

I went to transfer files from my Nook HD+ to a desktop computer and plugged it into a powered USB hub. (1 AMP). Much to my surprise, the amber light went on and the Nook started charging. It wasn't as fast as the standard transformer, but it wasn't wait a full day for a full charge.

I don't know if this will work with all powered USB hubs, but it's one less place to have to bring along the supplied transformer.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] netseraph:
I could confirm the same. I tried various of power adapter but none of those worked. However, It got charged without any issue from either USB2 or USB3 port in my laptop.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] rumplestilts:
On another site, I just read this:

Re: Nook HD+ refuses to charge except when hooked up to computer

Finally got a USB meter to determine what exactly is going on. The USB spec says approximately 5 volts as a standard. The third party chargers that do not seem to charge correctly all seem to fall somewhat below that standard. The chargers that seem to work properly with the Nook HD+ all show more than 5 volts. The HD+ really seems to care about the voltage it will accept, so be aware.

Hope this helps. Buying my Nook HD+ 32GB tomorrow morning at the local B&N. They have the 32GB HD+ for $149. Apparently this is not offered anywhere except at the brick & mortar stores.

Guys, a friend of mine has had multiple power cords on his Nook, and it seems the connector inside the Nook may need to be resoldered on the motherboard. He would like an alternative. Has anyone tried to wire a standard USB cable directly to the HD+'s motherboard connectors for power, and connect that to a charger? Yes, a bit of a kluge, but it may be the only way to solve the problem of the demoniac 30 pin connector.
