Where can I buy a stock nook color cable? I want just the cable not the full charger. I looked on ebay and couldn't find it.

Make sure it works if you get it.

This will charge it but it will be slow. Notice how the mini head is shorter than the stock Nook cable. The longer head on the OEM BN allows more current.
Just walk into Barnes and Noble and pick one up.
Much faster then ordering it from them online.

Additional pins trigger the extra current. Look inside.

Is it on the Best Buy website? I searched for nook color and only the device and a few cases came up. If you find it on the site can you link it here please
I bent the MicroUSB tip of my included Nook Color cable
So, I am currently using the charger that came with my Nexus One to get a charge, and I'm using standard USB-MicroUSB cables to do ADB and file transfers. The higher the amps output of the AC adapter (closer to the stock Nook charger) the faster it "should" charge.
With that in mind, I have searched DealExtreme (free shipping) and found the highest rated amps output charger there is this (there is a comment on the page though, that says someone is using that charger with a Nexus One and he feels it is slower than the stock charger):

Hi, I'm curious to know if anybody has found alternate (cheaper) power adapters and cables for the HD+, or if anybody has information on the pinout that makes the stock adapters/cables unique.
Thanks.
BTW it's far-fetched to expect it to work but has anyone tried to use Apple's 30pin cable for charging? If the pin out for the 5v is the same it may be able to handle charging (most certainly not anything else though). Now that I think it would work, it probably won't fit either... anyway maybe it's worthy of a try for anyone owning both kinds of tablets...

No they are different 30 pins connector, not to mention they probably have different pins output.
I have to say, I hate the new 30 pin Nook cable. .

They are totally different. Apple's cable even doesn't fit to the nook slot.

The Galaxy Tab also has a 30 pin connector that looks very much like it but also does not fit. I have bunch of those I was hoping to use.

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.

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+.

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.
Fuzzy
The one from Nexus 7

This would seem to be the case, the cylindrical (2000 mA) charger for the HP Touchpad works fine. I think the nook color is 1500 mA

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.

My HD+ can be charged by Nexus 4 USB power adapter but not by my iPad2 USB power adapter (both original).

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've tried 2 portable battery packs for the Nook HD, but neither work.
Any recommendations?

The GMP10K from ioGear works with my HD+ (the 1A connection only; the 2.1A connection does not work). On Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/GMP10K-GearPower-Capacity-Station-Smartphones/dp/B00A35KPQQ
This battery pack charges my Nook HD+ from 1.3 A port, dunno if it will work for HD though.
I don't think it's just the battery pack, there are many 2.1A USB chargers that do not work with Nook HD+ as well. I think this is a problematic.
I have the New Trent NT120C and yeah the charging doesn't work on the 2.1A port also. However the 1A port works so I guess that's fine

I asked them on Twitter a week or so ago and they stated the 3E works with the Nook HD (+).
The tweet.
Anker works
I've had a Nook HD+ for all of 3 days, but happened to have an Anker Pro, the one that charges 12 volt devices too. It worked really well with the HD+ from the non I-Pad I-Phone charge tap. The Nook HD+ indicated immediately that it was being charged, etc.and it has enough amperage to charge the Nook while it's running.
I also happen to have a New Trent. It does not appear to work with the HD+, though I know it sometimes wouldn't show as charging my Samsung 7+ when it actually was. It also couldn't charge the Samsung Tablet while it was playing videos. It would slow the rate of battery loss, so if I was at 51%, I'd watch a movie and be at 45% instead of 30%.
The New Trent looks better and I like the size better, but the Anker has consistently simply works better. The New Trent's one advantage is that you can charge it via USB port from your laptop, the Anker forces you to carry around their AC adapter. The New Trent is great for cell phones or smaller tablets, but the Anker seems to work with everything, even my Samsung Netbook. Oddly, they're both claiming to output 2 amps at 5.1 volts, but the devices sure respond differently.
there's an offical external battery for the nook HD/HD+. it's not cheap but it works and would probably work fine for other devices too
i have similar concerns regarding the battery for the nook and have reached to nothing productive yet .. it is good that getting some sound options by the posts here

Yes, too bad we just can't use it with a normal charger or cable.
I got a shiny new Anker Astro Mini external battery (3000mAh) as a surprise gift, and it happily charges my Nook HD+
On a whim, I picked up a USB charging adapter for a Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab and tried it with my Nook HD. It allows my Nook HD to charge from USB batteries that it refused to acknowledge previously.
The adapter is basically a USB Plug/Socket with a couple of resistors on the inside to emulate the correct voltages on the D+/D- lines. When in use, the Nook HD sees my batteries as AC input. I picked mine up on eBay for around $5 from a seller in CA. DealExtreme has one that is slightly different but should work the same. dx.com/p/usb-2-0-male-to-female-extension-cable-w-data-charger-switch-for-samsung-p7510-more-black-258964
Here is the listing on eBay for the one that I bought. ebay.com/itm/190702898352?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
This will possibly help many like myself who have batteries already that the Nook HD/HD+ just doesn't like.
Hope it helps!!
Just FYI
For those inclined to modify a USB charger or to create a charger cable jumper adapter by modding a spare USB extension cable;
If the Nook sees the two USB data wires tied together and not tied to a voltage through a resistor (i.e., leave floating), the Nook will go to full charge mode.
I have an original P1000 charging cable and it will not fit in the Nook HD that I found. Was hoping to power it up to maybe get some owner info with out having to buy a cable.

I bought three of these based on this suggestion and they don't work at all for me with Apple batteries or chargers. Not sure what is going on.

I have modified a short extension cable and it works perfectly. Are you sure you've properly short-circuited the D+ and D- pins on the Nook's side of the cable?
Hi all,
I purchased a used Nook HD+, and have already began reading threads here about how to root it, etc. I have rooted my last two HTC phones with help from XDA, so look forward to being part of this Nook community as well.
My Nook is still in transit right now, but I already know it is missing the charger and cable, so I'm trying to determine whether I need to purchase replacements, or whether I could use standard micro-USB cables and phone chargers. I see an HDMI port listed as being on the Nook, but does it have micro-USB as well? Like I said, mine is still in transit, so I can't look myself. Any idea if a standard Android phone charger would suffice? If I need a dedicated/proprietary charger and cable, I wanted to go ahead and order them even though my Nook hasn't arrived yet.
I appreciate any help. TIA
It does not have a standard microUSB port. It uses a proprietary connector and charger. Look in the accessories forum to see sources.

Thanks. I had forgotten there was a B&N store nearby, so I actually went in today at lunch and was able to check one out in person. The plug is reminiscent of an iPod/iPhone. I usually shop on eBay for cables and chargers, so will probably go that route.
