It's basically a hibernation mode for your Steam Deck. This mode helps keep your battery healthy by storing it at a safe charge level when you won't be using the device for an extended period.
I used battery storage mode when I went on vacation for a month. Came back, booted up my Deck, and it was still in great shape! It's super useful for keeping the battery in good condition.
Just Valve being smart about battery life. Use it if you're not gonna touch your Deck for a while.
