I was under the impression the steam deck used pass through charging? I mean it's still useful and I'll definitely set it to 80% for docked, but it should also be useful (or even more so) for those who do charge it a lot instead of those who rarely charge?
Li-ion just really does not like being at 90-100% charge regardless if it's being actively charged or pass through is used.
I know all these things very well. My question was why the changelog said this would only benefit the docked use case when it benefits all use cases. Noone answered my question and instead told me things about batteries I already know. You did not answer my question either.
I'm not really sure what your question was in that case, I thought you were wondering if this is also useful for people who charge a lot, and the answer is yes because it's always better to stop at 80% vs 100%.
My question was why the changelog says this is only useful for docked usage even though it's useful for everyone.
Yeah I'm not sure on that one, just a misunderstanding by whomever wrote the changelog maybe
