Hey all, just wondering how the battery life is after you’ve had it for a while? I’m getting one soon and wondered if it would have a noticeable impact on the battery if it was on a dock for most of the time.
Cheers

The deck has passthrough input and you can set a charge limit of 50% if it’s docked most of the time to reduce battery wear.
Is this new? I tried to figure out how to do that a while ago but couldn’t find anything about it
Passthrough input, or charge limiting? Charge limiting was added after release but that was a while ago.
The charge limiting, is it in the settings somewhere? I haven’t seen anything about it
You’ll need PowerTools for Decky: https://git.ngni.us/NG-SD-Plugins/PowerTools
Oh man, thanks for linking this. I’m glad there’s someone out there writing plug-ins but Valve should really provide this out of box.
Valve is doing a decent job of replacing plugins with stock functionality. Progress is a bit slower there than I would like, but many of my decky plugins have been partially or fully replaced.
Some replaced plugins off the top of my head
and probably some more I’m probably forgetting.
Is it on by default for people on the stock firmware without any modifications?
Ahh excellent, I’ll definitely be checking that out. Thank you!
Legend, I have been looking for that for a while, and it is the cherry on top that it does not require booting into the uefi!
FWIW most lithium wants to be between 20% and 85%.
Also fwiw most devices manage this automatically and you do not need to concern yourself with maintaining any given battery percentage
