    ooh, didn’t realize the new one’s got a better battery. think that’s something you could buy on its own and install into an old deck?

    edit: i realize now you probably just mean the oled screen uses less power

      From all I have read they are going from a 40 watt-hour battery to a 50 watt-hour battery, so it isn’t just the screen change contributing to the better battery life.

      You can’t, the battery is a different size. I watched like 8 videos all saying the same thing yesterday, one of them was looking at the battery size compared to the original lol. Anyways, it’s 25% bigger battery, the OLED panel uses less power than the LCD, and the chip is a new 6nm process which is more energy efficient. This is basically the gen2 Switch and Switch OLED improvements rolled into one.

      No valve said they put a bigger battery in it, a bigger fan to keep it cooler, plus oled has lower power consumption. Depending on how you’re using it you could push around 50% more battery out of it. But honestly ove heard you can just upgrade the battery in the older decks too.
