I’ve had my Steam Deck since last June, and noticed the battery would drop from “full” when plugged in to 95% as soon as I unplugged it. I tied the calibration method Valve recommends, but also realized when I check the Battery Health in desktop mode/settings, it’s at 88%…which does seem odd after just one year? Curious to hear how others’ devices are holding up.

EDIT; thanks for all the feedback! I think there may be a couple different things going on between the battery health as displayed in the dekstop mode/settings and the battery remaining display when I’m in “game” mode. After doing the battery calibration, the battery health still shows as being 88%, which I think is low after only having it for a year, but the calibration did seem to help with the battery remaining being all over the place?

    With the internal display or on an external display?
