A removable battery, Wi-Fi 6, and a slimmer design make the new Starlink Mini more useful for traveling off-grid.\t\t \t \t \t\t\t \t\t\t\t \t \t \t \t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStarlink\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Back in May, firmware references had pointed toward<\/a> SpaceX working on a new Starlink Mini with its own battery. The original Mini was already designed for travelers, campers, and people who need internet away from regular networks. But it still needed an external power source to work. Now, SpaceX has officially unveiled the Starlink Mini 2<\/a>, and the battery is finally here.<\/p>\n The new portable satellite dish comes with a removable 71Wh battery that promises up to 4.5 hours of internet connectivity on a single charge. SpaceX is also taking preorders in the US, although access is currently limited to selected customers.<\/p>\n What\u2019s new with the Starlink Mini 2? <\/p>\n The interesting part is how SpaceX has handled the battery. Unlike the current Starlink Mini, which requires a separate power bank, users can attach the battery to the back of the dish with a quick-release mechanism. And when it runs out, you can swap it for another one or connect the dish to a USB-C power source.<\/p>\n Starlink <\/p>\n Of course,<\/p>\n
