how long does it take to charge?

[Konk]

i know the battery life can be on the lower end, if you play heavier games, but how long does it take to charge? can't find any information online.

also, just ordered mine yesterday; where can i view my order on steam?

It takes like an hour to charge(IIRC) while in sleep mode on the default charger.

You can look in your order history for your order.

2-1/2 - 3 hours for a full charge from low single digits 0-9%

Just to note, from the FAQ:

"If your device has been left on the charger for long periods of time, it may report less than 100% charge. This is normal. We allow the battery to slowly discharge after long periods of time under charge to optimize long-term battery health."

Huh, seemed like a lot less when I would charge it.

Weird.

It will only go as low as 90% with the discharge. It doesn't say how long it takes to get to 100% though. Or how long "long periods" is considered.

a couple hours with a 45watt PS or battery brick. a lot longer with a discount low watt battery brick, basically the same as with a high-end phone/tablet/laptop. it's all about the watts.

I have a 65w charger from my phone. Can I use this and charge faster or should I stay at the 45w Mark?

"Steam Deck uses USB Power Delivery and does not support Fast Charging or Quick Charge specifications." from the FAQ

a 65watt PS will work the same as the OEM one
