We previously reported that iFixit may have been discontinuing Steam Deck LCD battery replacement parts, after which iFixit CEO, Kyle Wiens, issued a formal response indicating that the replacement batteries would be back in stock soon. This has since come to pass, and the Steam Deck LCD batteries are once again available at iFixit , however, the spare parts have received a significant price increase.

Before the restock, the original OEM Steam Deck LCD battery kit cost $84.99, while the battery alone cost $79.99. After the restock, the OEM battery kit with iFixit's tools included costs $134.99, and the battery alone costs $129.99. That's a $50 price increase across the board on a part for a four-year-old device. What's more, the OEM battery for the Steam Deck OLED still carries the same $79.99/$84.99 pricing as the original, Steam Deck LCD battery. It's currently unclear if the OLED model's battery will also see a price increase.
