Starlink Mini 2: what is confirmed so far

As of October 18, 2026, SpaceX has not published a specification sheet or price for a Mini 2. Several outlets have reported one with a built-in battery. Until Starlink publishes the specs, the calculator does not include it.

What has been reported

• ISPreview, July 2026Reported details of a battery-powered Mini 2 dish.
• Ubergizmo, July 2026Reported a leak pointing to a built-in battery.
• Not a Tesla AppReported that the Mini v2 had entered production with a built-in battery.

The Mini it would follow

The current Mini averages 25 to 40 W and takes power from 12 to 48 V DC, from 100 W USB-C or from its mains supply. It weighs 1.10 kg without the kickstand. Those are the figures any Mini 2 will be compared against, and the ones our calculator uses today. Mini spec sheet, checked October 18, 2026

What would change

A built-in battery changes the power maths: some hours come from inside the dish before any external battery is touched. When Starlink publishes the capacity and draw, we will add the Mini 2 to the calculator and log the change on What changed.

Two numbers will matter most for travel: the capacity of the built-in battery in watt-hours, and whether the dish still accepts 12 V DC and 100 W USB-C. If both stay, a Mini 2 becomes a dish with its own small buffer that still runs for days from a van battery. Until Starlink publishes those figures, any runtime quoted for a Mini 2 is a guess, including ones you may see in shop listings.

Buying now or waiting

If you need a dish for a trip this season, the current Mini and a power station do the job today, and the setup guides on this site cover it. If you can wait and a built-in battery is the reason you want one, wait for the official specification sheet rather than a leak.
