After a long time of users asking, Valve has actually added an official Battery Charge Limit setting in the latest Steam Deck Beta update so you no longer need to use third-party tools.
You’re missing the point. Obviously the battery health will degrade faster without the feature - otherwise there’s no point even having it.
The point is that the consequence of two years of heavy battery degradation is the total capacity dropping to… Around 80% of the nominal capacity.
Which means all you’re doing is limiting your battery artificially to avoid having it limited by the actual chemistry later on. Which is analogous to amputating your arm today because five years from now you might develop a disease.
