SpaceX appears to be developing a battery-powered version of its compact Starlink Mini satellite internet dish. Code discovered in recent Starlink firmware updates indicates the inclusion of an integrated battery, which would allow for untethered operation. This new feature would enable users to access high-speed internet in remote locations without needing a separate power source. The firmware includes data points that suggest the tracking of battery charge levels.
A battery-integrated Starlink Mini would significantly enhance the portability and usability of satellite internet for mobile users and in situations where power access is limited.
