Added with today's preview/beta release of the Steam Deck Client is introducing a Battery Charge Limit Control feature within the Power area of the Settings panel. The charge can be limited to 80% for helping with the long-term battery health and quite worthwhile if you are predominantly running from a dock or AC charger connected most of the time.
