After updating my Steam Deck, I changed the maximum charge level to 80%, hoping it would help prolong the battery’s lifespan. However, I’ve noticed that it consistently shows a yellow charging indicator and never surpasses 50% charged. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I’m considering switching it back to 100% to see if that resolves the problem, but I’m puzzled as to why it won’t fully charge now.

Funny enough, when you set it to 80%, it feels like the system treats that as the new 100%. So, if you want to see the actual charge percentage, make sure you check the settings directly instead of just relying on the battery indicator.
It sounds like your charge indicator might be acting a bit funky. Sometimes, displayed percentages can be off due to glitches. I recommend trying a reboot and checking if it then shows the correct 80% charge level. I’ve read that many users experience this kind of issue, but the actual charge seems to be fine when measured with other tools.
Thanks! I’ll give that a shot and see if it helps.
Oh, that makes sense! I’ll check the settings.
