I noticed the back of my steam deck feeling uneven yesterday. Opened it up to find a spicy pillow inside.

Replacement is underway, but I'm gonna remove this one now, already. Wish me luck...

I thought it was 90%, but baybe it is 80. If you leave it plugged in while asleep all the time you may still be charge cycling to max capacity a lot, which is bad for the battery, though.

Regardless, having to replace the battery every few years isn't terrible, except for the price of like $85 is damned expensive for it.

I don't mind the replacing thing. It's the unexpected spicy pillow I don't like.

the latest beta update for the steam deck offers an new option to limit charging to 80/85/90% btw!
