Just start streaming games directly from your PC to your Steam Deck while keeping brightness and volume maxed out. Battery won't last long!
Honestly, just leave it on with a game running. Steam Deck's power-hungry hardware will take care of the rest.
Only way to really drain it fast? Run multiple apps and games simultaneously. Treat it like it's got a to-do list of epic proportions!
Use it for a long gaming session with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled, and the battery will drain quicker than you can say 'Handheld PC!'
