The Star-Batt Plus is a professional-grade portable power solution built exclusively for the Starlink® Mini, delivering over 24 hours of uninterrupted runtime through a mission-configurable 624Wh LiFePO₄ battery system.
Designed for field operators, emergency responders, enterprise teams, and government agencies, the Plus transforms the Starlink Mini into a fully deployable off-grid connectivity hub.
Engineered with six removable, hot-swappable 96Wh batteries, the Star-Batt Plus is fully compliant for commercial air travel when transported according to FAA guidelines — allowing professionals to travel with reliable connectivity anywhere in the world.
Its built-in RJ45 Ethernet pass-through enables secure, hardwired connections to third-party routers and encrypted communication systems without opening the case.
Housed in a rugged Pelican™ 1450 case, the Star-Batt Plus is built for harsh environments and allows the Starlink Mini to operate fully enclosed or externally depending on mission needs.
In addition to powering your Starlink system, it features dual USB-C PD ports and USB QC charging outputs to keep phones, tablets, and critical field devices deployment-ready.
The Star-Batt Plus isn’t just a battery — it’s a rugged, FAA-compliant mobile connectivity platform built for real-world performance wherever the mission takes you.
1. Great concept and execution but the weight is a problem.
2. Never received the solar recharging panel as promised.
Response from Star-Batt
Hi Phil, thank you for your feedback — I’d like to address your concerns directly.
To provide 24 hours of runtime using LiFePO4 batteries (chosen for their safety and longevity), some weight is inevitable. We’re fully transparent about the unit weighing 27 lbs, and we highlight this in our product descriptions so customers can make informed decisions.
Regarding the solar panel, your Kickstarter pledge did not include the solar bundle. As such, your order did not include any solar components beyond what was specified at the time of purchase.
We appreciate your support as a backer and are always here to help clarify or support any aspect of your order. To describe these as a “couple of issues” is not fair to us.

I worked in remote rural Fremont County on a Wildland fire with evacuations. I was the only one that had one, providing connectivity for my two phones, laptop for radar, maps, WebEOC… I was also mobile and had perfect cell service, and provided cell service for other responders and DHSEM. It was great to have on the move and provide connectivity at the second fire that was started by lightning in a second very remote location. I used this from 11:34 yesterday morning until about 9 last night and there was never an issue. It was even out in the rain during the heavy storm that started the second fire.
I tested out my system for a few days when I was remote working at my in-laws. Pine trees blocked the view from the length of the starlink mini power cord. I used my star-batt to extend the range beyond a plug in to get to a clear view of the sky. I used it in both closed and open positions – open with an external router that I ran back to the house. Both functioned well. I’m looking forward to star-batt 2.0 where we will have an external RJ-45 to plug the external router in without opening the case – that will be a great option.
The Star-Batt works great. Portability is good. I use when boondocking so set up is easy. I also have a cradle. It has strong magnets. It is a bit of a challenge to carry up ladder to set in cradle on top of van for me. I have a roof rack on van and use an additional bungee type strap to attach to rack for safety when on the move. Reception is good when moving and I use power from van to keep battery topped off throughout the daily drive. I am happy with the options for connection.
A perfect solution for an internet backup solution when RVing, camping, during a power outage, or just for emergency preparedness. Seems to be built like a tank.
