Valve has reinstated the supply of original replacement batteries for the Steam Deck LCD following customer backlash. The company's decision addresses concerns from users as the demand for spare parts has increased since the device's launch in February 2022.

Valve will begin supplying a new batch of original replacement batteries for the Steam Deck LCD, addressing user complaints after initially indicating a discontinuation of these parts. iFixit, an official partner since 2022, alerted customers about the lack of availability for the 40 Wh battery, which impacted the LCD version only, while the OLED model remained unaffected. The renewed supply is expected next week through established suppliers.
Given that the LCD variant comprises nearly half of the active Steam Deck units, this decision mitigates the need for third-party alternatives priced around €74 excl. tax. Accurate production volume estimates appear to have been a factor in the previous supply issues.
