I have an Anker Powercore that has enough output to charge the SD while playing, so just wondering what is the most efficient method to get the most out of both power sources for long haul flights.

    Thanks for the in depth response! So if I understand correctly, it’s better for battery health to use the bank first then the steam deck.

    However if for arguments sake I want to get the maximum amount of play time, would bank first then SD still be the right way to go? I’m asking as perhaps the steam deck uses more power when plugged in as it doesn’t believe it should be preserving charge?

      Bank first, then SD is good for both max play time and battery health, as the charging of the SD battery results in both energy loss as heat and minute degradation of the battery.
