To put your Steam Deck in storage mode, first, make sure it鈥檚 fully powered off. Then, hit the power button to turn it on and immediately hold the Volume Down button. You'll enter the boot menu. Use the D-pad to navigate to 'Switch to boot picker,' then select 'Reboot to BIOS.' In the BIOS, navigate to the 'Advanced' tab, find 'Battery storage mode,' and enable it. Hit 'Save & Exit,' and you鈥檙e all set!
I've actually done this a few times. It's a bit of a process, but it helps keep your battery healthy if you're not gonna use it for a while. Just make sure you follow the steps closely, especially the part about accessing the BIOS. Miss one step, and you'll just be rebooting normally.
