Valve begins sunsetting LCD Steam Deck batteries, pushing repairs to aftermarket options
Valve has started sunsetting the official LCD Steam Deck battery, with iFixit noting Valve isn’t planning to restock and is seeking alternatives. The change mainly affects the LCD model (OLED is unaffected), and while Valve shifts focus to the OLED version, iFixit says third‑party and aftermarket batteries are now the repair route for LCD units, with no confirmed restock timeline for official or third‑party batteries.
