Firmware in a May Starlink update hints at an integrated battery for the Starlink Mini, enabling untethered use with three power states (USB-C, internal battery, or both) and a likely airline-friendly ~99Wh capacity. If real, the battery would simplify app support, warranty coverage, and portable operation for vanlife users and emergency responders, potentially delivering around five hours of runtime.
SpaceX has introduced Starlink Mini, a compact and portable satellite internet antenna that fits in a backpack and offers high-speed, low-latency internet on the go. Priced at $599, it is currently available through limited release emails to customers, with plans for international availability soon. The Mini is lighter and consumes less power than the standard Starlink antenna, and includes a built-in WiFi router. It is bundled with the Mini Roam service, offering 50GB of mobile data for $30 per month.
