Comment on Spicy pillow đ§

I hate lithium batteries. Every so often I see one of these type of posts and have to go through every single electronic in the house to check for spicy pillows.
Now, OP, please tell me you the let battery fully drain a bunch and recharged it full and left it there but not plugged in and when you did again you played until it powered off.
Because I know battery management systems, and battery management systems still need electricity to work correctly. If the battery gets fully discharged they canât work correctly and occasionally the pillows get spicy.

If youre talking about before the operation: I let the battery discharge completely (fired up a game and played until the system shut off on its own). I havenât charged it afterwards, but imidiatelly removed it.
If youre talking about general usage: it was plugged into the outlet whenever I was not gaming, It barely drained below 40% when I used it.

Dang. You understand batteries. I was really hoping that it wasnt chance that the battery went poofy.
Time to do my paranoid check again

eh, apparently, not really. When it comes to battery health, it feels to me like the wisdom changes every few years. It probably wasnât very healthy for the battery to be on the charger for dozens of hours on end, despite battery management.

If he understood batteries he probably wouldnât have left it plugged in all the time. That wouldnât be an issue unless he always left it in sleep mode, so it would short charge cycle every other day.

the steam deck bypasses the battery if itâs fully charged, and powers itself directly from the charger. Unlike a phone.

I thought the Deck would discharge it to like 80% if it detected a long charge period. Maybe Iâm just really lucky
