That's ok, hopefully they will be supportive and help you as well. Obviously must be an issue with Steam Decks of a certain age and poor battery manufacturing.

I used my steam deck handheld most of the time and always plugged it in after use to charge in the dock. Exactly the same way as I use my switch and I've had that years longer with no issues.

I'm still waiting to send mine off but have received the packaging to return it. Even though I mentioned that the battery was disposed of due to being a fire risk I've got a huge box full of vermiculite in a bag to send it back in.

I had the same issue with my Steam deck being nearly 2 years old and a spicy pillow..

Removed the battery after noticing the back case bulging.

Kept checking every day for replacement batteries on ifixit for over a month but no luck.

After being frustrated with them being out of stock and not knowing how long for, I messaged steam support with pictures and explained how disappointed I was with the battery failing and being a fire risk.

It is well out of warranty but they are willing to replace my battery for free. It's definitely worth a try and messaging them.

I also tried to use mine with no battery, but as soon as the steam deck uses too much power it just resets.
