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.

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.
