How we calculate it

Runtime = capacity (Wh) × 0.85 ÷ 25 W

For a full day you need about 710 Wh (600 Wh of energy plus inverter losses). Running other devices at the same time? Add them in the runtime calculator.

Tips to run your Starlink Mini longer

  • The Mini can run directly from a 100 W USB-C PD port, avoiding inverter losses.
  • Average draw is 20–40 W depending on usage and temperature.
  • Pair with a 100–200 W solar panel for indefinite off-grid internet in sunny weather.
