Do you think this battery pack is worth the extra weight? Do you use a battery bank at all? Let us know!

1st video from you and the editing got me. Subbed!

I bought a 50w MI power bank with 20k mah, it is slim enough to fit at the back of my steam deck, I just bought a semi-full case and made a customized holder for the powerbank, tried Elden Ring and I got 5+ hours of gameplay on it. powerbank in the PH cost like $50-$55 and case with $4, worth it.

Cant wait for solid state batteries to become mainstream in a few years. 2 x battery

[@ScarletAmethyst]

I tend to see people complain about the battery life on the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. I can understand the battery life issue since this is a gaming computer coupled with the 40 watt-hour battery although I think it's better than my gaming laptop. My battery on the AORUS 15G went from 95% to 18% in 42 minutes running Hogwarts Legacy. At least the Nyko battery pack helps improves it. I do like the that Nyko Dock has a front USB port which is useful for Xbox controllers and the USB 3.1 is an interesting addition. The only negative is the lack of DisplayPort which I would find useful if you want to free up an HDMI port for a console or streaming device, but I suspect most users will likely hook the Steam Deck to a TV. It's may not be too big of a deal on laptops if yours has a dedicated video port (for example, my AORUS 15G has a Mini DisplayPort).

Im liking that dock, and im not sure if i like magnets on the back of my steam deck to hold a battery

[@DigitalCynics]

Yeah, that was why I ultimately went with the nyko battery. Would just prefer to have something to clip on and off

[@RuiCastroPT]

I would love from that second battery solution, just the magnetic steam deck back support. Is that sold separately?

[@ZacharysGamingExpOG]

They got to make games for the steam deck though like you can play all your games but like specifically for the steam Deck kind of like ps Vita back in the day exclusives

[@borismurillo2834]

How much total time do you get when at max load? I wondering if I should get this for the oled deck or a larger one

[@emanndaman8315]

Does this fit on case? Specifically Skull Co case

[@cjirish4750]

Does it have a stand too?

[@azgaming9291]

cool

[@funnyway683]

Guys does playing through the powerbank degrades original baterry performance over time Because of discharging and charging over and over ..

[@josephgalindo8153]

Could this work on my aya neo 2

[@MYDOMAIN002]

What about the temp

[@blueberryblaine]

If you charge the pack will it also charge the deck so you don’t have to have 2 chargers plugged in

[@Crecross]

Was that not obvious? 💀

[@MikuCobraCole]

If you use a case it's possible to attach it?

[@DigitalCynics]

While I haven't tested it out, I'm willing to bet with almost 100% certainty that it won't fit with a case. The battery sits pretty flush with the steam deck already so I don't think it would fit with one on.

Can’t get it in the uk Shame

Can It fit the rog ally?

[@itzdcx7991]

😑

[@neosmith166]

@@itzdcx7991 ok got it. So is there something similar for ROG Ally?

[@user-hh4hc2lt6e]

Probably not, just downscale your screen like most ROG Ally owners do (in secret, and basically to steam deck specs lol)…. PPI in a handheld…. 720p is great. Even watching KZbin on the deck.. it’s still HD lol

[@bullseye0419]

With 10k mAh it doubles that Steam decks life? I don't think so.

[@Crecross]

Do you not know how to convert Amp hours into milliamp hours? The deck is 5200mAh.. So yeah, depending on what you're doing you should double the life. And sometimes even more.

[@bullseye0419]

@@Crecross this is very theoretical maths. Because the first thing you learn about external batteries is that the 10k mah raw capacity is never going to translate into the effective charging capacity. And it gets worse if you don't power the SD off.

@@emanndaman8315 yea...It works fine when need a portable backup charger but I rarely use it the weight isy big issues it'd pretty Heavy I wouldn't mind if it had extra ports or a SD card slot
