The battery life issue is no big deal, you just plug the phone into a charger when you are running it as a hot spot.
If you have one of Verizon's Shared Data plans there is NO additional charge for using your phone as a wifi hot spot. Don't let anyone here tell you differently; this was the result of a lawsuit against Verizon last year. The only people who have to pay for hot spot usage are people with grandfathered unlimited data plans.
