SpaceX’s Starlink Mini 2 is the first Starlink dish with a built-in, swappable battery.
Its 71 Wh battery is rated for up to 4.5 hours of connectivity per charge, while the quick-swap battery has a USB-C port and its own battery-life indicator.
The device also supports USB-C plug-in power and includes a Wi-Fi 6 modem.
The new device features a 71 Wh battery that offers up to four and a half hours of battery life on a single charge. The battery weighs about half a kilo, has its own power indicator and a USB-C port, while the device can also be powered directly with a USB-C cable connection. It also includes a built-in Wi-Fi 6 modem.
The Starlink Mini 2 is 21mm thick and weighs a total of 1,6kg including its base and battery. The first generation of the device was released in 2024 with an initial price of $599 through an invitation-only program, which was later reduced.
Pre-orders are currently open by invitation to select customers in the US, with shipping expected in mid-December. The $999 price tag includes a $100 refundable deposit and a full year of unlimited on-the-go connectivity.
