![The BEST Battery Bank for the Steam Deck [Fully Tested & Compared]](/img/tr.png)
Just stress tested it manually at 25-26W
With two magnets:
Gpu 99% usage, 79C ~1C variation
Cpu 55-60% usage, 84C ~1C variation
Fan speed 5500 rpm ~50 rpm variation
Have not noticed any change without magnets. Maybe 0.5C change
These batteries are to weak. You need like 45watts type C to power the Steam Deck. These are 25. You will lose power and and these will give you a slow charge error. Would of been cool if these had 45WATT power delivery. Will be a waist of money 💰 if anyone buys this.
@XTREME PC GAMER I mentioned this in the video. I said that the reason I bought these is because of the kickstand and I don't really play games that use 20W+ on the steam deck. If you're looking for that and don't care about the kickstand, you should find one 45W+
@@TheSignOfJonah 30W would be fine. It'll power the games while only trickle charging the main battery.
I've only seen a power draw at a little over 27W maximum stock.
That's a brilliant mod! I love that it's modular thanks to the magnetic plates.
Someone needs to make a battery pack case for the Steam Deck.
I'm surprised it doesn't already exist
Agreed. Been looking , not realizing it wasn’t a thing yet.
Samme I looked everywhere but couldn't find it. All I want to do is be able to play Wind Waker HD portably with at least around 10 hours of battery without the need for lugging around a battery bank. Its the whole reason I haven't got a steamdeck yet. The battery life sways me. As a heavy gamer for me 3 hours is chicken shit. I need a full day of battery life portably and then we start talking lol. What sucks is everything else about the device is amazing such as the performance, customization and resolution. However battery is important and it tells you how long you will be able to spend in said game. 2 hours in a heavy game like Elden Ring portably is not nearly enough time to get a good experience.
There's no case but there is a mount for battery packs on etsy. It's called the Deckmate
@@toonzelda3353 sounds like you need more of a life. not more battery.
Forearms are gonna get strong asf.
When they said to workout, they didn't mean this way 😂😂
we’re gamers…our forearms are already very strong 😉
Looks badass man
Nice but remember some steam decks fans will slow down due to having the older fan on it .
Are you sure the magnets don’t affect anything in the deck. The killswitch magnetic kickstand got recalled recently because the magnet affected the fan. It caused the fan to slow down thus allowing the deck to heat up.
Correct. I was about to mention that.
Linus tech tips did a video where they slapped a magnetic one on the back so I dunno.Not sure they would have done so if it was going to be an issue.
There are two different fans. The newer quieter fan is unaffected by magnets.
i dig your setup. very efficient
There is one on Amazon now by Antank which I do have. But it is recommended to be used with Huaying fans only as the other fan model can be effected by the magnets. I think I like yours better though, not having a kickstand was a missed opportunity by Antank.
Thanks for the idea! Pro tip from a video guy, record with a light in front of you so we can see your face better. With only light behind you your face is too dark and makes it more difficult to connect with your audience :)
Appreciate it! Honestly I don't really do a lot of RUclips anymore...or social networks for that matter 😂 I just thought I had a good idea and so I wanted to share it to other gamers. But still good tip nonetheless
Ultimate steam deck
Bro i did the same thing but i put the metal plates on a case tather than the deck itself and also just one big bank
Another feature that i added was the magnetic tips on the cable so it can connect itself
I'm doing somthing similar but with a deckmate clip and a power bank
Same. Do you have any battery or cable recommendations?
When the Steam Deck internal battery loses the capacity this solutions is going to be gold 😊
you could just replace the internal battery entirely
Not sure the magnets are safe for the deck
I think I will use heavy duty Velcro and just attached my 20000mAh battery in the back. I think is safer then all this magnets :/
Great video..Video... Thx!!! Can you provide a link for the magnetic plates by chance???
Thank you! All in the description!
hahaha genius!!
Does the magnets mess with anything at all I was thinking about putting a MagSafe sticker over the cpu and gpu and put a MagSafe phone cooler there and see if it helps with cooling but was unsure with the magnets
I believe that magnets only affect hard drives. The steam deck uses nvme ssds and SD cards
And yours is just fine?
@@TheGreatZachary yeah it just weights more and maybe it affects cooling slightly but haven't really noticed any difference in performance
Do you think my idea would would then?
@@TheGreatZachary I'm not familiar with it but I highly doubt it would damage it. At most it would get in the way of airflow and heat it up a little. But it sounds like you're doing the opposite
Just put electric tape or black duct tape over the blue light. Problem solved.
Right. I was mentioning it for the viewer to say that if I were to buy them for the first time, I'd try to find something similar without the light
does it affect the hardware somehow if you place it wrong? Like the fan, the ssd or the microSD card?
No, I'd just recommend not placing it over any screws or the exhaust on the back, that way if you ever have to open up the back, you still can. Other than that I haven't noticed any performance impact
@@redcobra1246 I thought you needed a battery pack with at least a minimum of 45w for the steam deck no?
@@Troyjanwarrior1 that's only if you want to charge while playing high demanding games. If you're playing stardew valley while charging at 20W, you will still be charging, just slower than a higher Watts charger
So is the portable battery magnetic or the plate thing??
The portable battery has a magnet. The plate is there for the magnet to attach to. The battery was designed to be attached to the back of phones
@@redcobra1246 oh thanks man.. yeah that’s a project but you got the perfect setup.
@brotcon the only issue with this setup is that you get the slow charging warning and I wouldn't recommend 2 batteries. It gets too heavy
Does it charge the steam deck well? No slow charging notification ?
It gives a slow changing notification. It charges about 16-17W. So for some games, like Stardew, it will charge while playing. If you're playing GTA at 25W, for example, it will slowly drain battery. If you setup the overlay you can see how many Watts your games are using
Do this mod at your own risk
Decky battery holder
Bro these magnets you linked are weak af wtf man I just wasted my freakin money
Are the plates the same? I have had zero problems. Mines hold very strong. You should return them if they don't work well
Why wouldn't yoy just have a fanny pack with the battery pack in it and a wire coming out. It's stupid to put the batteries on the deck because that would make it heavy

@@redcobra1246 awesome bro as long as everything works fine keep it up. That’s an awesome mod. 👍👍👍
@@jasonpypsaeris4643 yeah so far so good. However I don't keep it attached all day, mostly because I store my steam deck in the case, but also just as a precaution. But whenever I play I usually slap one on, two if a long session, and I've never noticed any anomalies. Fingers crossed
@@redcobra1246 yea sorry I just heard magnets and got reminded of the killswitch recall. I would hate to see anyone break their deck, but as I said great mod. My friend is also thinking of putting a large power bank on the back as well. I think he was thinking of using those Velcro strips with the sticky back. Anyway I hope nothing goes wrong and have fun gaming. I’m loving the deck. Always been a console player and this system has opened my gaming world in a huge way.
