Whenever a device is plugged in, it’s gets warmer. When it’s both charging and turned on, it can get hot, which could lead to disastrous results. In addition, from what I understand, batteries can wear out from repeated charge cycles. While the Steam Deck stops just short at 99%, I’m worried that leaving it plugged in could rapidly make it go through several cycles.

Is this something that I should be concerned when using the dock?

    One year playing mostly plugged and sometimes docked, no issue whatsoever.
