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

I haven't noticed any loss of battery performance in the year I have had mine.

Weirdly, the time I notice the battery the most is while playing Lunati. Because playing Lunati for two hours somehow costs no battery at all on my SteamDeck.

The Lunati developers are some kind of mad geniuses, I figure.

Luanti (minetest)?
Lunati the name of another game?

Yep. Luanti / MineTest. My battery life while playing it is so good, it's weird. I certainly don't mind. But I thought my SteamDeck had a battery tracking bug, at first.
