How long can steam deck last?

The battery has a 40Wh capacity, which is pretty good for something this size. But the AMD APU inside is pretty powerful, which means, in the right circumstances, it can destroy the battery life. Valve's initial claims are a vague 2-8 hours, but it's perfectly possible to drain it in less than two hours.

Does the steam deck overheat?
The Steam Deck is an incredible machine. However, it also gets incredibly hot. If you want to prevent the stuttering and crashes that inevitably come with overheating, you'll definitely want to do something about that. The Unitek Cooler Dock Pro offers one potentially good option.
