Valve's Steam Deck Revision: Anticipating Improvements

Valve will be forced to manufacture new versions of the Steam Deck with replaceable batteries due to a new EU battery regulation. The current process of removing the battery is difficult and can lead to damage. The regulation aims to reduce environmental impact and encourage competition among battery manufacturers. This change may apply to all devices sold by Valve, including those in the US. Third-party sellers may also produce more powerful replacement batteries. The new version of the Steam Deck is expected to be released in the next few years.
