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

I play mine enough that I never turn it off. I usually play multiple short sessions throughout the day, so having instant suspend/resume from the middle of the game is much more important to me than the minor battery drain.

I'd only turn it off if I didn't expect to play it for a few days, but even then I would probably just stick it on my dock in sleep mode, and trust pass-through charging to keep the battery healthy.
