Star-Batt Mini is a rugged, self-contained power solution designed for the Starlink® Mini for reliable, go-anywhere internet. It features internal batteries to provide power in remote, off-grid locations.
The Star-Batt Mini provides up to 24 hours of run time, dependent on internet usage.
The Star-Batt can be charged via the included AC wall adapter, DC car charging cable, or by a solar panel such as our Star-Batt Solar, which allows you to maintain off-grid internet access indefinitely, as long as there’s sunlight.
Yes, the Star-Batt Mini can power additional devices through its USB and PD outlets, allowing you to charge laptops, phones, and other devices.
The Star-Batt Mini fits the Starlink ® Roam Mini dish exclusively.
Starlink service is not included with the Star-Batt Mini. You will need to purchase a Starlink® Mini dish and subscribe to Starlink service separately for internet access.
FAA rules limit Lithium ion (rechargeable) batteries to a rating of 160 watt hours (Wh) per battery. In order to achieve run times of up to 24 hours, Star-Batt Mini has a rating of 576Wh and cannot be brought onto a commercial flight, either as a carry-on or checked baggage. If this is a deal breaker for you, please let us know at support@star-batt.com as we will consider this feedback in releasing a future “lite” version of the Star-Batt.
In the event your Star-Batt Mini does not turn on, plug into a power source even if you believe your device is charged. The built in BMS (battery management system) automatically disconnects power from the batteries if there is a power issue detected, and will reset when a charger is connected.
The built in BMS (Battery Management System) automatically avoids over-charging of the batteries, but once fully charged and not in use, it is recommended to disconnect your Star-Batt from the charger to avoid causing damage to the cells inside the battery. The battery has a maximum charge of 29.2v, but the optimal float charge of the battery is around 27.6v.
The rotating latches inside the case are designed to be semi-serviceable by the end user. To adjust the tension on the rotating latch, you can tighten or loosen the nut on top of the rotating latch with a 7/16” wrench. If for some reason the one side of the latch breaks off, the latch can be rotated 180º and reused by removing the nut retaining it with a 7/16” wrench.
There are only a few user-serviceable items on the Star-Batt product. Please contact us with any concerns or problems related to your Star-Batt through our warranty page.
