In this video I show off how to resolve the bug with the steam deck where the battery drains really fast or the battery percentage no longer reports properly. The main takeaways from this video are:

1. Your steam deck must be drained to the point where plugging it in no longer powers it on.

2. You may have to attempt this multiple times before success. If you turn your deck back on and the battery health has not changed, you must try this again.

3. I forgot to mention this but use the standard steam deck charger that comes with it.

If the deck will not stay off no matter what, boot up the deck, shut it down, then boot it once more and see if the battery life shows the proper amount.
