You can check battery health in desktop mode, by clicking on the battery.

I’ve had my OLED deck for a little over a year now, and it’s still reporting 100% battery health.

    I’m getting a new OLED Steam Deck in the mail within the next hour or so, so I’m glad to hear its battery is handing well.

    I have an original LCD Steam Deck from their initial announcement of the device, which is still showing 100% battery health. The battery doesn’t last very long unplugged, though. I’ve had to make sure I have a charging cable everywhere I go. So I’m looking forward to the longer lifespan of the new Steam Deck.

      Wow, I did not know about the OLED with the bigger screen and presumably better battery life. I really want one now!

      The OLED deck in general just gets so much better battery life than the LCD. Getting 2.5 hours instead of 1.5 hours on a demanding game is a huge increase.
