Direct USB charging after the controller battery was depleted in its runtime test took 3 hours 26 minutes to full, exactly 206 minutes. Steam Deck adapter rated 15 W at 5 V or 45 W at 20 V, with a power interposer to record charging power. This is the measured controller charge duration, not the adapter rating or a Puck charging result. Numerical starting percentage, controller operating state, firmware and the exact full-charge endpoint criterion are not stated.
