The Steam Deck charges at a maximum of 45 watts. It uses a USB-C power adapter for efficient and fast charging, so make sure you’ve got the right specs when picking a charger!

Actually, you might not always need the full 45 watts. I've charged mine with a lower wattage charger when I was in a pinch. Slower, but it gets the job done.

45 watts, USB-C. But let's not forget, a good charger is key. Not just any will do.
