Battery should be fine based on my experience.
If you have an OLED you can have the deck wake up when a BLE connects, but there's also a bios setting to wake up LCD/OLED Decks when plugged in. I've heard of people getting smart plugs (or even remote toggled plugs) and plugging their dock charger into that. When you want to wake up the deck just toggle the power off and on, and the deck will wake up.
