Valve says iFixit will keep selling Steam Deck batteries after all

Valve says iFixit plans to restock Steam Deck LCD batteries next week, reversing concerns that the key replacement part was being discontinued. The company says iFixit will keep receiving the same OEM parts sourced through Valve’s partners as before.

The clarification reinforces Valve’s repair-friendly positioning at a time when early Steam Deck units are aging into battery replacement cycles. Continued parts availability supports the broader right-to-repair trend and helps preserve consumer trust in handheld gaming hardware.
