Comment on Why doesn’t the steamdeck hibernate by default?

  It lets the battery discharge to 90% while plugged in. If you’re not using it for a few days you should still unplug.

  It will still keep it above 90% all the time which is bad according to most comments I just found by googling about it, it's just the nature of lithium batteries. Steam deck allegedly has a feature to use direct power from outlet if in use while charging and if at max, but it still keeps battery at high %.

    Most of that is really old knowledge from before the days of sophisticated charge controllers.

      Maintaining a high SoC is still very damaging to battery life.

        Which is why the charge controller does not do it. It will drop to a sustainable voltage when it detects longer wired connection after being charged and adjusts the "percentage" it shows you accordingly so you still see a 100 to 0.
