I’ve had the charge limit on 80% since it became available as I leave my deck docked for long periods of time, but it doesn’t seem to be working since every time I get it away from the dock it shows 100% charge. Also the charge indicator gets stuck now until I reboot the deck, but that’s a separate issue…
I’m on the current beta stable release, and it’s working fine for me.
Be aware that if you’re already charged to 100%, and you play primarily plugged in and/or docked, it’s going to take a while to work down to the level you set it at.
I do, and I set mine at 85%… it probably took 20 to 25 hours to go from 100% -> 85%. Now it sits consistently between 83% to 85% while plugged in.
Pretty sure it’s doing that slow drain on purpose because it’s better for long term battery health.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I use an OLED Deck. I also had an LCD Deck, but that was before the arrival of the charge limiting.
I have an LCD one, and I’m on stable. I’ve played handheld plenty of times getting it down to almost 0, it still charges to 100 every time afterwards
I haven’t had any issues with my OLED deck. Every time I take it off the charger it is at 79%.
My Q1 LCD is limited to 90%, never had an issue with this feature.
I don’t have a steam deck, yet, but my pixel also has this battery feature.
There’s some info in the settings, about the need to let the battery go to full 100% every now and then.
It shouldn’t happen that often though.
Once i had it go to 100% three times in a row, but other than that it’s always 80% and sometimes, often the first load after a reboot, it goes to 100%.
I had some issues with this when it first came out, but I had previously capped the max charge through power tools. I figured the issues might have been from the two settings interfering with each other.
