So many times I forget to plug the deck or someone uses the charging cable for something else and I come back to play the next weekend and the deck is at 0%. Why doesn’t the deck have a deep sleep or hibernate mode on by default like my laptop or iPad?

    Because most people don’t want that.

    The quick start and stop nature is one of the biggest value adds of a handheld device.

      Overnight? Sure.

      After 12-24 hours? Certainly it’s not good for the battery to sleep all the way to a dead-flat battery. Why not have it drop into a deeper sleep? My Win laptop goes a month and still has battery (just by walking away and letting it sleep) and wakes instantly (daily use) or a few seconds (weekly+ use). Same with my iPad. Even my Sammy tablet will go for 3+ weeks and still have juice.

      It just seems weirdly 1998 era to have it so bad at power management.

      (Edit- I’m not blaming you, just curious if anyone knows why it isn’t even an option)

        I don’t know, last time I’ve seen that work was in 1998. My dad had an IBM and at least in the pre-installed Win 95 SE it could suspend or hibernate. Never seen anything else pull that off since then.

          My GPD Win4 handles hibernate beautifully (sleep sucks, though). I’ve left it on hibernate for weeks to a month and at most I come back to 10% less battery.
