So for some time now i have been taking steam deck with me for my travels but i have always turned it off instead of putting it to sleep so battery wouldnt drop too quickly but i never checked if it would actually drop too quickly when i put it to sleep... Soo what now? Should i still power it down or would it be fine if i put it to sleep? Also forgot to add, battery precentage matters to me since i dont have always access to charger

Well, thanks for that information. Good to know that battery runs out when in sleep actually

    Well, every device in sleep mode runs out of battery at some point. The Steam Deck is not the most efficient one in sleep. I would just turn it off if you do not use it for an entire day or so. Otherwise its pretty useful to just sleep for a few hours.
