Valve’s new handheld console, the Steam Deck, is set to release in two weeks, and while the portable device boasts flexibility, its battery life seems to be unpredictable.
There are countless ways you can use a Steam Deck and purposes you can use it for. But exactly how long it will stay alive without being charged can vary widely, according to the device’s specs on Steamdeck.com

How Much Does a Steam Deck Cost?
Valve has released three models of the Steam Deck, each with a different storage capacity and price tag. These models are:
- 64 GB: For $399, you can get the base model of the Steam deck with 64 GB of embedded multimedia card (eMMC) storage.
- 256 GB: For $529, you can get the 256 GB model with a nonvolatile memory express (NVMe) solid-state drive (SSD). This SSD will make your system run faster than the baseline model.
- 512 GB: For $649, you can get the most high-powered version of the Steam Deck with a high-speed NVMe SSD and 512 GB of storage.
