I'm getting a new OLED Steam Deck in the mail within the next hour or so, so I'm glad to hear its battery is handing well.
I have an original LCD Steam Deck from their initial announcement of the device, which is still showing 100% battery health. The battery doesn't last very long unplugged, though. I've had to make sure I have a charging cable everywhere I go. So I'm looking forward to the longer lifespan of the new Steam Deck.
The OLED deck in general just gets so much better battery life than the LCD. Getting 2.5 hours instead of 1.5 hours on a demanding game is a huge increase.
Wow, I did not know about the OLED with the bigger screen and presumably better battery life. I really want one now!
