Ugh,
Yay.
Hopefully it is a popular enough product that 3rd party manufacturers will step in… But who am I kidding… I’ll just keep it plugged in and use the steam machine as much as possible
Having read the article, 3rd party batteries are the same price as the original battery used to be. A shame the oled batteries aren’t compatible with the LCD units.
It appears the price went up because it’s popular
A popular device now old enough that the original batteries are starting to fail from age and use. It happens all the time, nothing about the Steam Deck is special for this, it happens with everything.
