# NewQ Steam Deck Battery: Snap It On, Then Watch the Charging Indicator > Fitting the battery and stand to my Deck before timing any longer gaming sessions. Canonical page: https://pyrosoft.pro/blog/newq-20-000mah-65w-steam-deck-battery-bank-stand-eebf6fbf Published: 2026-11-04 Some links to other products on this page are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission if you buy through them. It costs you nothing extra, and it has not changed what this article says — where a competitor is the better answer, we say so. A big battery on the back of a Steam Deck is going to add weight. I say that as soon as I get this NewQ setup fitted, because it is the obvious trade-off for the extra power I want to take along. ## The battery and holder come apart I open the package and separate the battery from the holder. The stand folds out independently, and there are attachment pieces and cables in the box, including a short cable for the connection to the Deck. I check the ports and battery indicator before getting my own Steam Deck to try the fit. ## It fits, and the Deck shows charging I snap the holder onto the Deck, adjust its position and connect the USB-C cable. The Deck shows that it is charging from the pack. That is the useful result from this session. I have not measured the labeled capacity, maximum output, heat or how much extra gaming time it provides. The 20,000 mAh and 65-watt figures are package specifications, not results from my meter. ## Two accessories with different jobs NewQ sent this for the video, and I am looking forward to taking it on a trip. Their [small Steam Deck dock]() appears in another unboxing as a way to add ports; this battery-and-stand setup is about power and support instead.
