Decky Power Tools already offers this, and I believe there’s a desktop setting for it as well. Still very nice to have though.

    While this is nice, I do hope they consider making it easier to remove and install a new battery for the next iteration of the steam deck.

    To clarify, I mean something similar to phones where the backplate can slide off or preferably a panel, secured by a screw, when removed allows direct access to the battery and allows it to be easily swapped out - similar to many kids toys.

      To be fair, most phones don’t have easily replaceable batteries anymore either. I remember in an interview that one of the steam deck leads said they really wanted an easier to replace battery, but it was a compromise they ended up making. I think they blamed it partially on inexperience with hardware production, and that they hoped to do better on future hardware.
