I’m not a hardcore gamer, so I probably get a few hours of deck time a month.

Between long periods of no use, is it better to leave it plugged in and charged, or is it better to let it run out of battery and stay discharged for extended periods?

    A recent update added the option to limit the deck’s max battery charge in Settings>Power. If you want the deck to be ready to go, I would recommend capping the max charge at 60-80% and leaving the Deck plugged in. Alternatively you can put the deck in battery storage mode.

    Valve’s basic use and troubleshooting page has a section on long term storage that covers how to put the Deck into battery storage mode.
