It just says the device battery will be considered the primary power source....

FWIW, here is a reply I got from an e-mail I sent the safety committee:
So there it is: don't wait until you get a PD; once the trial period begins, report issues with the charts via ASAP. At the very least we might be able to force NavBlue to fix some of this garbage.
Thank you for your comments and concerns. I am sure there will be problems with the new charts+. We have found many issues with Jepps and have had some luck with resolving them through ASAP and directly with Mesa SOC/ dispatch. Your concerns are not falling on deaf ears. We will have 2 months, Jan and Feb as a trial and to voice concerns to nav blue. Please keep sending in things that are problems. Keep a list if you can and send them through ASAP, there is an FAA person on the committee so it is NOT falling on deaf ears. Thank you for bringing this to light. We need to have all the information easily available to us when we need it.

If we start using Charts+, I am going to tell every FO that I have that they cannot use an external battery and to follow the GOM procedures on iPad.

Here's the deal on the battery. The new charts, by default, disable ipad sleep mode. Turn that off in the preferences and you'll see almost equal battery life to the jepps.
