Whats the most efficient; Using a fully charged SD when plugged into a 20,000 mah battery bank, or depleting the SD battery then plugging into the bank to continue play? (self.steamdeck)

I have an Anker Powercore that has enough output to charge the SD while playing, so just wondering what is the most efficient method to get the most out of both power sources for long haul flights.

Fully charged. The steam deck draws power from AC when the battery is over 90%

As a bonus, you won't be stressing the internal battery. An external is far easier to replace than the internal, so plugging in and bypassing the internal battery will extend its life - especially if at the "end" of play you still have at least 30-40% remaining on the internal.
