2 Could I put the new Steam Deck OLED battery into the original Deck?
If I buy a battery for the OLED model, could it work in the original model?
Is this a good question?

Probably not. It was stated that one of the reasons they could accommodate space for a bigger battery is due to the OLED screen being slimmer than LCD. I would love for someone to try it but I think it's not possible.

Definitely not with the original back panel.

It is something I would gladly try when the Oled battery is available for sale... I already 3D printed a new back plate with enough space for the oled battery + 2280 SSD. But does anyone knows when the Oled specific parts will be available ?

It seems like the OLED screen has given more internal space and they used it to give the O-deck a bigger battery. Given you can't change the screen, you won't be able to change the battery.

I would like to know this too as well if I can change out the old screen on my deck for a new oled screen?
