You can check battery health in desktop mode, by clicking on the battery.

I've had my OLED deck for a little over a year now, and it's still reporting 100% battery health.

94 % 2022 LCD the Deck is my main gaming device and is mostly always docked or plug in when i play so it's not that bad and thanks for the TIL about checking battery health

Actually it would probably be even better then that if it wasn’t plugged in all the time. Without battery conservation on, the battery lifespan is reduced by being plugged in constantly.

I know that when it hit 100% it's stop charging and let the battery discharge to 90-95% before charging it again

I'm surprise my battery health was not at 80%

If you keep it plugged I all the time, there’s a Decky Loader plugin called Powertools that has a handy charge limit for the battery. For a Deck you take places, limiting it to 80% is a good compromise that will increase battery life. For a Deck you leave plugged in all the time, I would recommend to set the limit to 50-60%, which is a good “resting” charge that doesn’t put any stress on the battery from being too drained or too full.
